But if it is in actual use in mathematical manuscripts, it should be added. I haven't seen it myself, though. The only use I have seen of Fraktur it is as Lie algebras, and I do not know why one would want them to be in bold. -- In addition, I can mention that if one should be very rigorous and formal with this idea of adding all the math symbols, then one should add Upright That is, what one now probably will use are the ASCII letters A-Za-z. Strictly speaking they should have their own mathematical slots, too. I don't think that this is a very practical suggestion, though, as they probably will have identical representation with the ASCII letters, unless one introduces a special math font. So I just mentioned it to give thought (thinking of math as separate from natural languages). Strictly speaking, the naming ought to be Serif Serif Italic Serif Bold Serif Bold Italic expect that perhaps "Serif Slanted"<bold> = </bold>"Italic", so that everywhere the word "Italic" should be replaced by "Slanted" (or "Oblique").
