I usually get around this with this kind of trick, which I now habitually do in macros and string definitions: Instead of \fP use \fP\fR\fP This restores troff's notion that "R" is the previous font, even if eqn or somebody does a sneaky font change for you someplace. -- -- Bill Carpenter att!ho5cad!wjc or attmail!bill
