Re: st: Greek Alphabet?

[Robert A Yaffee <bob.yaffee@nyu.edu>]

Dear Alan,
    When I used that I only got an alpha and a beta.
     Tnx anyway.
    Bob

Dear Ingo,
  I don't want to violate any copyright laws, but
I have a need for the use of a wide variety of Greek
letters.  I would be interested in your
Stata_Arial font off-list insofar as we don't 
violate any copyright laws.
  Thanks,
    Bob
