Re: Re[4]: Insufficient symbol fonts error

Giuseppe—

Thanks for the tip about \high. That works (and looks cleaner in the  
source file too). But

\grk{\overbar{\grk{kj}} Kull'hnhc  d\high{\tfx\grk{ou}} med'eonta  
ka`i >Arkad'ihc polum'hlou}

still chokes on \overbar and returns the “insufficient symbol fonts”  
error.
