A math book I'm studying uses a symbol and I'd like to be able to reproduce it. I used detexify to search for it, but was unsuccessful. Most likely it is the letter 'a' in some font I'm not familiar with.



Here's a zoomed in image of the symbol:

    This looks like an 'old-fashioned' German letter a, as it was used in older text books about linear algebra in Germany here

  • This sounds plausible. The book is Hoffman and Kunze's Linear Algebra, which was originally published in 1971.

Since you appear to be using a bitmapped font from last century that costs money, here’s a modern equivalent. You can use whatever other TrueType or OpenType font looks better to you, but this version will automatically scale the font you select to the same height. You might want to choose it as mathscr instead, or use mscript for compatibility with the MathTime Pro package.



documentclass[varwidth, preview]standalone
usepackageunicode-math

defaultfontfeatures Scale = MatchUppercase
setmathfontfacemathcscrDobkinPlain.ttf

begindocument
vector space (mathcscrA) over (mathcalF)
enddocument


Vector Space A over F



The font I used is available here.



If you want to use the original symbol, I recommend loading usepackage[scr = mtc]mathalfa with an appropriate scrscaled = factor to make the font the right size.
