From another member of this mailing list: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ First, type an x, then: On Linux hold down Shift+Ctrl and type 304 (macron), then hit the spacebar. Or try 305 (overline) or 35E (double macron). On Windows hold down Alt and type the decimal equivalents of the above hex numbers, preceded by a zero. There are other possibilities in the Combining Diacriticals section of any Unicode font. On both Linux and Windows the utility to view the characters and paste them into your application is called Character Map. So launch Character Map, change the View to Select by Unicode Block, and then scroll to Combining Diacriticals. "Combining Diacriticals" are characters that do not add a space, so it's like they will overstrike the preceding character. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
