Thanks for such a speedy answer. Now for another accent question:
Since I'm just beginning to learn Greek, it's useful to use other
pronunciation keys. In particular, \v for short vowel and \= for long
vowel.  Is this possible with this Levy's fonts? 

  \input greekmacros
  \greekdelims % changes $ for greek, \math is old meaning
  $grayous$\v{$i$}  % I want the accent over the iota, but this puts the
                    % accent over white space, then prints the iota

Also, here's a related question that I should probably know the answer to:
How do you make a vowel long (i.e., \={o}) withing the LaTeX tabbing environ?
No real problem here that I can't overcome, but pass the info along if you
know.
Thanks!
