What I used quite successfully in my thesis is the following (in LaTeX): \newcommand{\R} {{\rm I\hskip-0.22em R}} \newcommand{\Nat} {{\rm I\hskip-0.21em N}} %-- not the same ! \newcommand{\Z} {{\rm Z\hskip-0.32em Z}} It works not bad with 10, 11 & 12 pts. You use them from within math-mode. -- Martin B Maechler, Statistics, GN-22, U of WA, Seattle, Wa. 98195, 206-545-1627 maechler@stat.washington.edu HOME PHONE: 206-523-9488 (was @ Statistik, ETH Zurich, maechler@math.ethz.ch) Martin B Maechler, Statistics, GN-22, U of WA, Seattle, Wa. 98195, 206-545-1627 maechler@stat.washington.edu HOME PHONE: 206-523-9488 (was @ Statistik, ETH Zurich, maechler@math.ethz.ch)
