In my once favorite Mathematical word processing font, "Princeton"
there were a number of zero width characters, overbars, dots and carots,
so that you could make appropriate symbols. These work quite well, and
even display properly on the Mac screen.

Unfortunately there is something strange about Princeton font: it can't
be installed using the newer versions of the Font/DA mover.
If you do install it, it sometimes causes crashes for example in
Cricket Draw (even version 1.1). I never could figure out whats 
strange obout this font....(It does have a FOND resouce, though
all entries are zero...).
