[Gerald Slot] > What I actually want is that my alpha and beta entities are > translated to symbols from the 'symbol font' and not as characters > with the font 'Arial Greek'. Is there some way I can get this done? There's not a good way to do this, but there are some hacky ways. If you want Greek alphabetics, and not mathematical symbols, than Symbol isn't the right thing to use, but it's a legible approximation. The proper way would be to use a query construction rule. However, that's not yet enabled in Jade. The ugly way, then, is to loop over the content of every text-bearing element: (element PARA (make paragraph (process-text))) (define (process-text) (let p-t-loop ((this-node (node-list-first (children (current-node)))) (other-nodes (node-list-rest (children (current-node))))) (if (node-list-empty? this-node) (empty-sosofo) (sosofo-append (case (node-property 'class-name this-node) ((sdata) (case (node-property 'system-data this-node) (("[Agr ]") (make sequence font-family-name: "Symbol" (literal "A"))) (("[Bgr ]") (make sequence font-family-name: "Symbol" (literal "B"))) (("etc.") (make...)))) (else (process-node-list this-node))) (p-t-loop (node-list-first other-nodes) (node-list-rest other-nodes)))))) If the Greek letters aren't SDATA entities, you can use a 'data-char case instead of 'sdata; compare the characters themselves, and (process-node-list) on any that aren't Greek in another else clause. This is gross, and if you're distributing multi-lingual documents, it's *far* better to ask your recipients to have support for the appropriate languages. -Chris -- <!NOTATION SGML.Geek PUBLIC "-//Anonymous//NOTATION SGML Geek//EN"> <!ENTITY crism PUBLIC "-//O'Reilly//NONSGML Christopher R.
