My own favorite example is structure sets in surgery theory. On
blackboards and in manuscrips and old books they are always done
as capital script S's. The caligraphic "S" simply won't do, nor
will Fraktur, or anything else that's readily available.

What do the AMS journals use for this, or for other uses of
true script? They supposedly set type in TeX.

Perhaps someone ought to make some more fonts.

Sincerely,
