With the mom macros, there's no need to define a macro because of the '\,' '\/' problem. The following works in .char definitions: .char ( (\*[FU1]\fP .char ) \fR\*[FU1])\fP 'FU' stands for Forward Units, and is used, along with 'BU' (Back Units), for kerning on-the-fly between any pair of characters. 1 Unit=1/36m by default, but can be changed to any fraction you like. Thus, it's suitable for making the "italic correction" in definitions such as the one above. -- Peter Schaffter http://www.schaffter.ca
