Several months ago, in article <706@agsm.unsw.oz>, bobm@agsm.unsw.oz (Robert Marks) posted an article showing how to use the \S slant operator to get oblique greek letters in ditroff. In his post, he included the following eqn definitions for the first four greek letters: define alpha % "\S'+15'\s-1\H'+1'\(*a\H'0'\s+1\S'0'\h'0.2n'" % define beta % "\S'+15'\s-1\H'+1'\(*b\H'0'\s+1\S'0'\h'0.2n'" % define gamma % "\S'+15'\s-1\H'+1'\(*g\H'0'\s+1\S'0'\h'0.4n'" % define delta % "\S'+15'\s-1\H'+1'\(*d\H'0'\s+1\S'0'\h'0.3n'" % The \S'+15' results in letters printed at an oblique angle of 15 degrees. The other operations alter the aspect ratio (for aesthetic reasons) and add a slight space at the right of the character. Has anyone developed definitions like these for all the greek letters? If so, could you email them to me, or post them? (I tried email to Mr. Marks, but it bounced.) Since the above definitions are all the same, except for the amount of space added at the right of the character, I could assume this is true for the remaining letters, and experiment to get values for the \h values. But if someone's already developed a set of definitions, I'd like to try them. Thanks in advance. -- Charlie Towne Email: pstowne@zargon.lerc.nasa.gov MS 5-11 Phone: (216) 433-5851 NASA Lewis Research Center Cleveland, OH 44135
