Ah - sorry. It looks a little like the empty set symbol - it can be 
accessed by the command \diameter if wasysym is loaded - see the 
comprehensive latex symbol list if you're still not sure.

What I mean is:

! LaTeX Error: Too many math alphabets used in version normal.


My understanding is that there is a fixed number (8?) of available maths 
alphabet slots, and my other requirements are currently using all of them.


I hope that clarifies things a bit - thanks for asking the questions 
Wilfred.
