For formulas I recommend the TeX exit via Render Frames. That software has been under development since the 1970's, with math formulae as a point of emphasis. The Greek letters used in mathematics should be accessible through TeX also in math mode, such as \alpha, \beta, \gamma etc. for lower case and 11 characters in upper case such as \Gamma \Delta etc. See any book on TeX or LaTeX for details of math mode. The Render Frames exit uses LaTeX but math formulae are common across all the forms of TeX. Using TeX you can create either a stand-alone formula or one in-line with other text. -- John Culleton, Wexford Press "Create Book Covers with Scribus" $5.95 at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html Free eps format barcode: http://www.tux.org/~milgram/bookland/
