Hello, Can someone indicate how to typeset $L_{α+β}$ as verbatim text? (\arg{} doesn't help here...) Furthermore, I suppose that typesetting Greek characters verbatim depends also upon which \tt font is being used. Alan

Untested: \type{...} should work. (Definitely did work a couple of months ago).

CM Unicode has a good coverage of greek characters in typewriter font. Aditya

Also, \type{$L_{α+β}$} I thought that I saw that somewhere before! :) Alan
