I have a problem using Silvio Levy Greek Fonts in LaTeX footnotes. This happens when using the circumflex accent `~' in conjunction with a iota subscript `|' or a breathing (i.e. `<' or `>'). For instance: \footnote{\begingreek <or~a|s me, <~w \endgreek} ^^^ ^^^ Silvio Levy gives a reference to Reinhard Wonneberger's article in the October, 1986 issue of TUGboat (pp. 179-180) to solve this kind of troubles. Unfortunately I can't find it! Could anyone help me? Please answer using email. Many thanks in advance. -- Sergio Scola Address SIXCOM S.p.A. via G.

Could anyone help me? Yes, the article is in TUGboat 7(3), and Wonnenberger gives code that redefines LaTeX's \footnote command in such a way that you would not have the above problem. I shall sit down and type it out some time, and when I do, I'll post it here, to comp.text.tex. In the meantime, a workaround is to say the following: "Blah blah blah \begingreek\footnote{English english \begingreek Greek Greek\endgreek English}\endgreek" I.e., surround the \footnote{...} in another set of Greek delimiters. Ugly, but it works. Best wishes, Dominik
