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!
