Hello all,

I'm trying to typeset 'H' with a circumflex (or hat) in math mode, but
the result is rather ugly when not using latin-modern. I've tried to
redefine the \hat macro to move the accent up a bit using \topaccent: is
this the best approach? Having to nest '$' does not seem right at all.
(Also, for some reason although I find \mathhat in enco-ini.mkiv, when I
try to use it I get undefined control sequence.)

Thanks,
Michael

\def\hat#1{\topaccent{3pt}{0}{90}{\textcircumflex}{$#1$}}
