Oops!  I'll include my .sig this time!  Thanks.

Vertical?  Not horizontal... bizarre...

This is another point of discussion in the MFG... at the moment, the
intension of the MC font is that it can be used in publications which
use upright lc greek, by redefining \alpha etc.  So we would need four
glyphs for each lc greek barred letter.

I think the conclusion we came to was that it would be worth waiting
until we've got a list of glyphs sorted.  Then we'll put out a very
wide post asking `What have we missed?'  If we put out a post at the
moment, we'll get lots of requests for glyphs we've already
considered.  At the moment there's a bit of a lull whilst Justin has a
holiday! 

Cheers,

Alan.
