I tried the obvious one, i.e. \Ell for upper case, but that didn't work in LaTeX. I've certainly added non-LaTeX shortcuts such as \bbR, \bbC, \bbN, \bbZ for blackboard bold characters, so I could add \scriptL, \scriptl etc, but if LaTeX has symbols for that, I would prefer those. But I also need to make sure that the characters exist. I see for example that mathematical script small l only exists in the STIX fonts on my machine. Which means that even if I add it, you need to have the STIX font in order for it to show up. David
