TITLE: Blackboard rendering of math fonts
QUESTION [42 upvotes]: I learned most of my math font rendering from watching others (for example, I draw ζ terribly).  In most cases it is passable, but I'm often uncomfortable using fonts like Fraktur on the board.  Does anyone know good resources for learning to write these passably?

REPLY [2 votes]: Concerning the greek letters, it is essential to know the following: there does not exist in the greek language a cursive style (joined-up writing, schreibschrift). To my knowledge, at least. And has never existed. As a further point, the greek z should be written as a 3. It is essentially the same symbol, I should say.
