How to create the polynomial symbol (P in calligraphy font)?

[Jas]

Hi,

I’m trying to insert the P symbol in calligraphy font (see example below) in typst and I don’t see it in the symbols list. I do see something similar for $Re$ but not for P. Is the calligraphy font (like \mathcal in LaTeX) available in Typst?

You can use $cal(P)$ for this - it’s not considered a symbol (even if that would be possible) instead a variant letter style from the math font.

Amazing, this was exactly what I was looking for, thank you!

Great. On this topic, the coming Typst 0.15 has the following compatibility note:

• Updated New Computer Modern fonts to version 8.1.0
  • This update changes the default look of calligraphic letterforms (cal) in the math font; the previous style can be restored through show math.equation: set text(stylistic-set: 6)
