Hi Hans, Thanks for the response. This is sort of what I wanted, except the \widehat is, well, quite wide. So I hacked it around a bit to put the \widehat from a capital 'I' on top of a capital 'H'. In case it happens to be helpful, the final macro was \def\hhat{H\kern-0.61em\widehat{\phantom{I}}\kern0.178em} If I really cared, I wouldn't hard-code those numbers, but since they are in em I'm not really too worried. -- Michael Murphy murphy.md@gmail.com On Wednesday, 31 July 2013 at 08:48, Hans Hagen wrote:

Hello all,
I'm trying to typeset 'H' with a circumflex (or hat) in math mode, but the result is rather ugly when not using latin-modern. I've tried to redefine the \hat macro to move the accent up a bit using \topaccent: is this the best approach? Having to nest '$' does not seem right at all. (Also, for some reason although I find \mathhat in enco-ini.mkiv, when I try to use it I get undefined control sequence.)
Thanks, Michael
