:Abstract: Set up the Zapf Chancery font as script (calligraphic) math
           alphabet.

           **Obsoleted by the urwchancal_ package.**

Introduction
============

The `pzccal` package sets up the Zapf Chancery font (pzcmi7t) as
script (calligraphic) math alphabet ``\mathpzc``. It provides options
to scale the font and to configure the alias command name. By default,
`pzccal` overwrites the predefined math alphabet command ``\mathcal``.

The urwchancal_ package (developed independently and published less
than a month after pzcal.sty) provides not only a style file but also
virtual fonts solving problems with accents and spacing.  Like
`pzcal`, it provides both lowercase and capital Latin math script
letters. It is highly recommended to use ``urwchancal.sty`` instead of
``pzcal.sty``.

The bidirectional text <-> code converter PyLit_ can convert between
``pzccal.sty`` and ``pzccal.sty.txt``.

The Python Docutils_ and pdflatex were used to generate the HTML and PDF
documentation from the reStructuredText_ sources.


Requirements
============

This package uses fonts from the PSNFSS bundle.
It also requires kvoptions_.


Installation
============

* Unpack pzccal.zip (preferably in a TDS_ documentation folder).

* Make sure LaTeX can find pzccal.sty:

  Copy/Move/Link it to a suitable place in the TDS_ and run ``texhash``
  or place it in the current working directory (e.g. for testing).


Usage
=====

It is highly recommended to use urwchancal_::

  \usepackage{urwchancal}

instead of ::

  \usepackage{pzccal}

Option descriptions in the literate source.

pzccal – Zapf Chancery as calligraphic math alphabet

The package establishes the Zapf Chancery font (pzcmi7t) as script (calligraphic) math alphabet \mathpzc. It provides options to scale the font and to configure the alias command name. By default, the package overwrites the predefined math alphabet command \mathcal.

The author has now declared the package obsolete, since he believes that the urwchancal package does the job better.
