PHYSICISTS have finally solved a problem that has baffled many in the field of antimatter research – how to type the symbols for antimatter particles.
In standard physics notation, antimatter particles are represented by a line over a letter or character. But there’s no easy way to do this in a Microsoft Word document, causing no end of headaches for physicists trying to write about antimatter.
Now Don Summers and his colleagues from the University of Mississippi in Oxford have designed a new font specifically for the job. Users can add a line over a character simply by keying in shift-5. The font, called LinguistA, can be downloaded from .
