How is it possible to have different kind of letters in latex

Question

I wonder how can I have these kind of D's in latex ?

enter image description here

The first looks like \mathfrak{D} or \mathcal{D} (math-mode), the second one looks like a variant of \DH/\DJ. The exact output depends on your font. Have you seen How to look up a symbol? — Qrrbrbirlbel, Mar 02 '13 at 21:22

The first one is available through package txfonts. The second one is like \DJ (package fontenc required). Also a poor's-man approximation can be made:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{txfonts}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\def\otherD{\rlap{\hskip.2ex\rule[.65ex]{1.4ex}{.5pt}}\emph{D}}

\begin{document}
$\mathcal{D}$ \emph{\DJ} \otherD{}
\end{document}

One should note that \usepackage{txfonts} changes all document fonts. – egreg Mar 02 '13 at 23:37
