Does anyone know of a nice way to add dots and doubledots to
characters (indicating time derivatives) that will print on
the LaserWriter?  Something like the way umlauts can be added
to vowels (option-u, vowel) would be marvelous.

I have edited fonts in the past to add special characters like
this, which works fine on the screen or ImageWriter; and this
would work for the LaserWriter (I suppose) if you do not use
a LaserWriter font (and no substitution).

Will equation formatters, like MacEqn, do this?  Easily?
Could I get that in writing? :-)

Thanks.
