(Gee, he needs even more help...)

Does anyone have a list of character descriptions for some of the weirder
characters available?


Here is the problem:

     One of our yet-to-be-installed special fonts (CMATHX) from Imagen
is a math extension set which some instructors here would like to use.
I can see what the  charset  looks  like  because  Imagen  provides  a
compiled sample page.  Unfortunately, they did not give us a character
map table along with the raster files.  I could build one by hand, but
I  don't  know  what  kind  of  special  names to give these guys. For
example, "\(sq" is the name for the square root symbol. This character
set,  however, has quite a few that aren't in the troff manual.  There
are five different kinds of radical symbols, two sigmas, some integral
symbols  with little circles in the middle (I don't know what they are
for), ovals, and even something that looks like a little sign  with  a
wavy line in it.

     So, does anybody have a neat file with these kind of descriptions
in  them?   Or  failing  that,  is  there a way to call up an absolute
character number with ditroff?  Like if I wanted  122  in  my  charmap
table could I do it? I've pored over the manual and can't seem to find
anything.  The alternative I'm looking at is to invent new  names  for
these characters and hope they don't break anything (yuk).

Is there a better way?
