using special characters (non-greek) in glosses

[Michael Berger]

Hi all,
this may be of interest to those writing linguistic papers with glosses 
and facing problems related to the subject.

I had to add the character Ø in a gloss which is found in
Insert > Special Character > Symbols > Latin-1 Supplement.

Knowing that this is cannot be done in verbatim text (and everything 
else did not work either) I inserted that character as a last desperate 
resort in normal text and then copied it into the gloss.

To my own surprise it worked.

Cheers,
Michael Berger
