Just type ∀ and ∃. Obviously, for this to work you need to have mapped them to some key on your keyboard layout. I have them on greek-braceleft and greek-braceright in ~/.xmodmap keycode 34 = bracketleft braceleft guillemotleft 0x1002200 keycode 35 = bracketright braceright guillemotright 0x1002203 The trick here is that X11 doesn't define symbols for those characters so we need to enter the unicode cdes. If you don't do that, you can enter them with C-x 8 RET THERE EXISTS RET and C-x 8 RET FOR ALL RET > Secondly, can I insert into a text document? Or does it have to be a > unicode document? Yes. > Thirdly, will the symbols be visible in the document when viewing on - > screen?? As long as you use unicode in the whole processing chain. -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com/ "Le mercure monte ? C'est le moment d'acheter !"
