Dear Dave: I guess I thought that the Postscript fonts that come with Ghostscript would already contain that glyph. To put it another way: if I have a standard Linux (on a Chromebook) setup, with lots of Unicode fonts installed in the system, and ghostscript, what steps do I need to take in order

That is indeed what I used as a substitute. But it's not typographically very nice for setting out geometrical proofs (which is what I'm doing), where the three sides of the triangle should be of equal weight. On Wed, Jun 23, 2021 at 4:12 PM Oliver Corff wrote: > Hi Robert, > > is Delta \[*D] a

Hi Robert, is Delta \[*D] a feasible substitute for your case? Oliver. On 23/06/2021 22:06, Robert Goulding wrote: I'm sure this is very easy, but I'm rusty on groff fonts, and I'm not sure how to do it. I want to add the triangle symbol △ (U25b3) as an operator to eqn. So, this is my documen

I'm sure this is very easy, but I'm rusty on groff fonts, and I'm not sure how to do it. I want to add the triangle symbol △ (U25b3) as an operator to eqn. So, this is my document: .EQ delim $$ define triangle 'type "operator" △' .EN .LP In $triangle ABC$ there are three sides. When I run this
