:Abstract: Set up the Zapf Chancery font as script (calligraphic) math
alphabet.
**Obsoleted by the urwchancal_ package.**
Versions
========
:0.1: 2011-02-03 first published version
:0.2: 2011-03-28 documentation update: deprecated by urwchancal_
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.
