Ok- I'm using Luxi Sans (my default, I think)<br>Qt: 3.3.7<br>KDE: 3.5.5-0.2.fc5 Fedora-Core<br><br>I can't get \mu or \Delta using my other fonts either, with the exception of 'fixed' (which doesn't really count.)
<br><br>As for a standard unicode escape, the nearest that I can find for latex is \unichar{}, which is used by the UCS package. Another common thing is to use &#;. I think I prefer \unichar{}.<br><br>Duncan.<br><br><div>
