I think \alpha is better. I can't see those other chars for starters and I'd like to be sure everyone see what I write. Also, how did you insert them? ("\alpha" takes zero time to type.) Only with complicated formulas it might make sense to have the Greek alphabet as it is - I can't say for the mathematicians or the HPC professionals or whatever... > Note Haskell can already do ≠ instead of /= Likewise > ∧ ∨ instead of ugly and obsolete && || No way, ugly and obsolete! There will always be more excellent C (with !='s) around than ever purist and neurotic Haskell. But to each his own. (By the way, some of those chars I cannot see as well.) -- underground experts united: http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
