Ralph TeX provides calligraphic alphabets, which can be accessed using {{cmd|cal}} however, there are no script alphabets in Computer Modern or Latin Modern. Raph Smith's Formal Font [http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/rsfs/] provides a bit more cursive calligraphic symbolsscript alphabets that blend well with Computer Modern and Latin Modern. They can be used inside ConTeXt by as follows

which does not use the correct font size. rsfs10 is used for bodyfont, scriptsize and scriptscriptsize.

These methods are listed for people who want a stop gap solution for other fonts. These should not be used for RSFS.
* The first method is to use rsfs10 for all font sizes

\def\mathrsfs#1{\text{\definedfont[RalfSmithFormalScript]#1\/}}
\mathrsfs{ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ}
</context>
'''Note:''' Since this is an italic script, one needs italic correction <code>\/</code> in the definition.
* The ''plain tex'' way of using the font is:
<texcode>
\font\tenscr = rsfs10 at 12pt %bodyfontsize
</texcode>
With these defintions one can use <{{cmd>|scr</cmd> }} just like <{{cmd>|cal</cmd>}}. This method has the advantage that it uses different fonts (rsfs10, rsfs7, rsfs5) in body script and scriptscipt.
