No, \alpha can't be read by LaTeX in text mode and I don't want to add all
greek characters, only the math characters widely used also in texts, the
ones I listed.
I'm not sure it's a good idea to encapsulate greek characters in mathed. After
all, they're _primarily_ greek characters (rather than math symbols). If I,
as a human scientist, copy some greek quotation in my paper, I don't want
them to appear as a formula.
So from my point of view, we should rather switch to greek in this case.
I think I agree. Does LateX support utf8 greek?
Abdel.
