In the Wolfram Documentation page for \ℓ, there are two formats for the script letter shown. How can I select the first format, which looks more like "\ell" symbol in latex? For instance, I have the following input:
Graphics[{Text[Style[Subscript[ℓ, 2], FontSize -> 20], {1/6, 1/30}]}]
the output appears as
I get the same output if I use:
Graphics[{Text[
Style[ToExpression["\\ell_{2}", TeXForm], FontSize -> 20], {1/6, 1/30}]}]
I've been playing around with various formatting options but haven't figured it out. How can I get Mathematica to output the curlier version of ℓ
?
ToExpression["\ell", TeXForm]
you should useToExpression["\\ell", TeXForm]
. It is important to double the ``, even though it works in this case. Of course this makes absolutely no difference to your question. $\endgroup$TraditionalForm
to select the first form ...TraditionalForm@Style[\[ScriptL], FontSize -> 64]
