Hi everyone,
I'm writing a paper with troff -ms using the default Times font, and
the "greater than or equal to" symbol appears to have an extra
line...so it looks like '>' above '=', instead of '>' above '_' . It
looks like eqn is producing the right troff code... "\(>= . Is this a
peculiarity of the default font? Should I use another one?
