Thanks, Greg-- I have discovered some of that on my own. In
general, I am comfortable with Latex for math and Greek symbols.<br>

It's worth noting that you can directly enter Unicode values for
any glyphs that are supported by the font that you are using.
<br>
This works with either the Story Editor or Edit Contents mode.
<br>
<br>
Beginning with 1.3.5, the keyboard shortcut for entering Unicode
values is Ctrl+Shift+U, after which you type the 4-digit hex code,
and for example, this is 03b1 for lower case Greek alpha. If you
find your way to the Character Palette by way of Insert >
Glyph, the Unicode value will show in a tooltip on mouse over.
Don't type the '0x' at the beginning, just what comes after.
<br>
<br>
So if you make a list of the Greek and other glyphs you want to
use with their Unicodes, this makes for much quicker editing for
small numbers of these letters. It also allows you to play with
Book vs Bold vs Italic vs whatever style.
<br>
<br>
It would be nice to be able to easily use Search/Replace to
replace some private code (like \a for Greek alpha), but
unfortunately, you cannot enter a Unicode value in the
Search/Replace dialog. It's a bit cumbersome, but you can copy a
glyph like Greek alpha, then paste it in the Search/Replace
dialog. Might be useful for a large number of glyphs of a limited
kind.
