And you shouldn’t use it in math, even Unicode discourages such use. Accents in text and math are not the same.

Besides, I'm inclined to agree with Khaled on math accents. I think that what I'm trying to do shouldn't be that hard, I just want the \mathhat accent to be placed a little higher. Something like \skew in plain TeX, but in the vertical direction. Michael On Thursday, 1 August 2013 at 09:04, Khaled Hosny wrote: > On Wed, Jul 31, 2013 at 09:05:18AM +0200, Keith J.

This is sort of what I wanted, except the \widehat is, well, quite wide. So I hacked it around a bit to put the \widehat from a capital 'I' on top of a capital 'H'. In case it happens to be helpful, the final macro was \def\hhat{H\kern-0.61em\widehat{\phantom{I}}\kern0.178em} If I really cared, I wouldn't hard-code those numbers, but since they are in em I'm not really too worried. -- Michael Murphy murphy.md@gmail.com On Wednesday, 31 July 2013 at 08:48, Hans Hagen wrote: > On 7/31/2013 12:04 AM, Michael Murphy wrote: > > 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.

Which is a bit more explicit, and can be easier to debug. You might prefer it. For display math, you really should use \startformula...\stopformula if you aren’t using it already, because $$...$$ doesn't space correctly. (Says the wiki. I don’t know it’s still true.)
