Dear Group, This is more of a LaTeX question rather than a LyX question, but I know there are many LaTeX experts here, too, so here goes.
I'm currently working with a set of fluids equations which have both velocity and volume terms. Given how frequently the variable v appears in both (by convention), I would like to somehow distinguish them in my notes. (Right now, I've been using an uppercase V for volume and lowercase v for velocity.) I've seen several texts use a variant of the V character, however, to make the distinction more clear. Any idea how this might be done? What is the best way to use a variant character in a math expression, or is there a standard LaTeX symbol for volume? (Regular V appears to be used for velocity, variant V for volume.) I've already looked through the general LaTeX symbols list and the LyX menus, but wasn't able to find the symbols used in the text. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Cheers, Rob
