There are a few obvious symbols that have not yet been mentioned.  Maybe they are easy
and I am just a mental midget and cannot figure them out.

x dot and x double dot.  This can easily be done using overstrike *if* I had a
raised dot (centered horiz.) and a raised double dot.

A small raised tilde and hat would also be useful although the standard ones
can be manipulated.

If someone builds one for the Mac, It sure would be nice if someone would run it 
through the process for creating the pc windows ATM version.

If there is a font available (commercial) already I would appreciate it if someone
would tell me the name so I can buy it!

Toodles,
Andy
