[Q] how to install mathrsfs?

[Francis M. C. Ching]

Hi all,

I'm new to installing fonts and I think I'm too inexperienced to figure out
how to do it right...

I'm using MikTeX 1.11 and I got mathrsfs.sty and the rsfs font package off
CTAN. After putting the .mf files and the mathrsfs.sty file into the right
path, I run something like:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{mathrsfs}

\begin{document}
\[ \mathscr{ABC} \]
\end{document}

and I got:

LaTeX Font Warning: Font shape `U/rsfs/m/n' undefined
(Font) using `U/cmr/m/n' instead on input line 0.

I suppose I need to run some command to somehow install the fonts. Can
someone kindly help me?

Thank you in advance.

I don't know the mathrsfs.sty in detail, but surely, you need to put
the .fd (font definition) file somewhere LaTeX can find it.

this means you didn't install ursfs.fd; you would have done that if
you'd read macros/latex/contrib/supported/jknappen/mathrsfs.rme
(in the same directory as mathrsfs.sty).

this will at least get you to the point of _trying_ to use the fonts.
what will happen then i can't say, since i've never even been in a
position to try miktex...
