Mike, OK, what you have in the NemethMath.cti is: math \X21CC 1246-25-25-4-135-1246-246-25-25 RIGHTWARDS HARPOON OVER LEFTWARDS HARPOON There is no dot 6 to indicate the bottom arrow barb, so should this line be: math \X21CC 9-1246-25-25-4-135-1246-6-246-25-25-9 RIGHTWARDS HARPOON OVER LEFTWARDS HARPOON Thanks again for your help, Jeff Jeff Dittel, President ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Britlan, Ltd. 516 East Birch Avenue Whitefish Bay, WI 53217 jeff@xxxxxxxxxxx U.S. Office: (414)962-2281 Costa Rica Office: (414)290-0574 > _____________________________________________ > From: liblouis-liblouisxml-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:liblouis-liblouisxml-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Mike > Sivill > Sent: Thursday, June 12, 2008 1:20 PM > To: liblouis-liblouisxml@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [liblouis-liblouisxml] Re: New characters > > Hi Jeff, > > The Nemeth book I am using is the publication year 1988 by APH.
