Reply To: Very specific Glyph problem with Amazon letters

Is it worth experimenting with Unicode U+0335 and U+0336, “combining short/long stroke overlay”, which need to be added after the letter to be overlaid?

They give a similar effect, but are more along the lines of a combining diacritic and aren’t a “formatting” feature like strikethrough.
That should also have the benefit of making the text more portable.

You’d need to adjust the text with a find+replace, find “letter+strikethrough” and replace with “letter+combining overlay+no strikethrough” – worked for me in Word with Helvetica.

Experimenting with the combining stroke overlay on the next lines here, but I suspect the IDS forum software won’t allow it (edit – it didn’t):
r?
p?

Good luck,
Chris.
