At UCLA, I mounted the various computer modern fonts with special
characters and the various cmsy and amsy fonts as special fonts in
positions after S and just invented two charcter names for the glyphs.
A number of the names I got from an extended S that came from Lou Salkind.
Other names I invented ( and believe me, it was not easy working with only
two characters). Sometimes the two characters are physically reminiscent
and other time, they are reminiscent of the name. In any case we do have
\(fa as for all, \(te as the exists, etc. For what it's worth here is
our can DESC table:
(RS is R with only the greek letters that look like latin letters defined
this is so that if one has mounted computer modern (cR) in 1, the \(*A
comes out looking like the same font as \*(G and not using the cR A.
XX is a font impaled out of cR cI ,etc to get at the 0th characters of them
- recall that a troff character of 0 is taken as a null)
