That sounds nice! However, it would be cool it we could turn it off as
well. The reason for this is that people might prefer the non-slanted
version for some reason, or might have another font at hand that
contains optically-slanted Greek letters (I don't know of any such
font).
Maybe adding a `symbolfont' argument to address@hidden' (defaulting to either
`Symbol Base' or `Symbol Slope'), and then referring to it within
address@hidden'
could do the trick?
Out of curiosity: do you know how the (La)TeX people handle this? It
seems that Knuth' fonts do not have slanted Greek letters either.
Thanks,
Ludovic.
