RE: OT: Typesetting self-pronouncing words

["Hogan, John T. (ESA)" <John.hogan.tempe@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, you don't need a Japanese OS to enter rubi text. Esc s r with text
selected will open the rubi space over the selected text at 50% of the
current font size (or whatever percentage you enter in rubi properties - Esc
o r).

The CD-ROM American Heritage dictionary includes its own TrueType fonts for
the special pronunciation characters.

Somewhat off-topic, I always thought a great use of rubi in English text
would be to provide pronunciations over the base word. Don't think anyone
has ever done it, for whatever reason (one likely being that you'd need to
run FrameMaker on a Japanese OS to get the J feature set to show up).
