I'm working on a cgSymbol program this morning that
preserves many of these frequently-used special symbols
for display and PostScript usage. And I got a *terrific*
program from Bernat Puigdomènech that allows you to use
non-printing (e.g., foreign) characters in widget programs.

Both programs will be available soon.

Cheers,

David
