Hello *roffers,
I recently needed to include the succeeds character - u227B - in an eqn
equation, e.g.:
n ≻ sqrt n
I don't know of a Groff default font that includes it, but it appears in
the Symbola font that I installed using Schaffter's install-font.sh. I
include it in the file with:
.special Symbola
But this doesn't give me the succeeds char (still just the warning
"can't find special character u227B") and breaks the square root
overbar, which isn't ideal. In fact, I can't seem to include any
non-default characters inside an eqn block, even if I can use them in
the main body.
My compilation command is `groff -me -ek file.me > file.ps', this
doesn't work with any macro set, or the PDF output.
I suspect I'm doing one (or probably more) of:
- Incorrectly installing fonts.
- Incorrectly loading fonts.
- Misunderstanding eqn/groff fonts.
- Misunderstanding Unicode handling.
My questions:
- How would I use Unicode characters with eqn?
- Is there a way to install a font so that it is used automatically for
special characters?
Thank you!
Faithfully,
F.Driver
