in any case I am not having much success forcing the u to comeout
helvetica.. it comes out as greek upsilon which is in u's position on
the symbol font!!
my definition is:
(OU) {gsave .5 dm -.35 dm rmoveto currentpoint newpath .35 dm 0 360 arc stroke
occ gsave .2 dm -.25 dm rmoveto (u) show oce}def
where occ is oce without the movement ie:
/occ {grestore}def
This (OU) is accessed by \(OU which is fudged to be in the S font.
Therefore when this character is used the current font is S
Now I determined from the definitions that is in this font that the u
is shown. hence the upsilon.
Now I want the u to be helvetica.. so I tried
(OU) {gsave .5 dm -.35 dm rmoveto currentpoint newpath .35 dm 0 360 arc stroke
occ gsave .2 dm -.25 dm rmoveto
/Helvetica findfont 10 scalefont setfont
(u) show oce}def
and I get only the circle???
what am I doing wrong??
Also I dont really want the point size to be 10.. so could I do something
like
/Helvetic findfont fontsize scalefont setfont
???
Thanks
