Yes, that works. In fact, now that I look at the font table again (Help
index -> TrueType fonts -> samples -- thanks to David for pointing us
there on http://www.dfanning.com/ographics_tips/greek.html) I see the
micro symbol in the Helvetica font at position 265 (octal). I had looked
for that yesterday but somehow missed it.
Since it is part of the Helvetica font, it looks even better than the
character from the symbol font.
Thanks a lot,
Benjamin
