Also, omega is not found in most character sets.  I for one would be 
happy to at least see lower case mu, pi, and the uppercase omega in any 
of the standard character sets since I use those symbols all the time in 
my (technical) writing.

Actually, I find it such a sensible form of notation that I now use it 
myself (I'm a Yank)  ;-)

An OT question of my own:  On European drawings, they use a certain very 
legible font-face when labelling thier drawings.  I'm wondering if that 
font isn't also a DIN/ISO specification as well, and if so, what is it.
