Is there a way to write slanted non-italic (especially bold/bb lowercase) letters in math mode?
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I would like to know whether there is a simple way to have slanted and non-italic lower case letters (especially in bold and/or blackboard bold style) in math mode, while still using some basic/default settings.
This is stemming from a practical need: I would like to have a special graphical rendering for n-tuples, such as objects of ℝn, in order to have them visually distinguished from ordinary vectors, for which I'm using italic bold. As far as I know, variable quantities should be written in slanted style, hence the "slanted" part (and btw, there's the rub!, writing non-slanted (roman) bold lower case letters is quite unproblematic, even for me). I have also noticed that uppercase boldsymbol
(and bm
from the bm
package, and vb*
from the physics
package) are already non italic, but this may be too big a constraint to me, and I'd rather avoid resorting to capitalizing each n-tuple, hence the "lowercase" part.
Since I'm quite new to Latex, I'm using some very basic settings, and would like to stick to them, in particular to Computer Modern as math font, and just add the capability of writing slanted non-italic (bold/bb) fonts within equations.
As an extrema ratio, I would resort to text
, but I guess it's better not to do this (eg for spacing, accents, etc.).
I have thoroughly looked for an answer; this one provides almost everything I need, the only issue with it being that slanted fonts from cmbxsl10
look significantly smaller than ordinary ones.

Thanks a lot. Both your answer and Steven B. Segletes's completely solve my problem. By no means I'm qualified to say whether one is better than the other; the only reason why I accepted the other answer is because it was posted before than yours; please believe me, I'm very grateful to both of you, and would have picked both answers if possible.
