In a paper I'm writing, there are words using the alphabet $sf D,R$. It will be very convenient to add ornated versions as in the picture below, but I have no idea how to create something that is scalable and can be used in text (as opposed to being an included image); hence, no included code.



The little circles can be bullets, and are about flush with the top/bottom of their respective letters, and could be larger than shown.

      • Not sure what's the point about ooalign. Anyway, you've better add a pair of braces around the code for RR.

      • Thanks for the reminder @egreg. Just putting another option out there. @Steven already did it a more intuitive way. Is there a reason to avoid ooalign? Or just no compelling reason to use it in this case?

                        • Not sure what's the point about ooalign. Anyway, you've better add a pair of braces around the code for RR.
