I have a related question:  Recently I wasted 5 hours discovering how
to type special "Symbol" font characters.  Specifically, characters
like subset, strict subset, for all, etc. don't show up on the keycaps display
of the keyboard.  Yet they are stored in the mac symbol font.

I finally found a PD program (fontdisplay) that showed me they were
there, and then I had to type the characters in Times Font (using
accents), and then convert the font to Symbol.  I now keep a file of
these symbol characters, since I haven't found an obvious way to type
them with my keyboard.  I have to constantly copy tiny characters from
the file into my document, which is hard.

Is there a better way to do this?
