Using MKIV and MyriadProBold for my sanserif font I have the following chapter title: "Can You Type \bye?" which I type as \chapter{Can You type \backslash bye?}

The slash appears but a bit low and much too thin. I have tried various games including creating a special font just for this character but nothing changes. the \backslash command seems invulnerable to change. Is there a way in MKIV to express a backslash in another way (bigger and bolder)?

\backslash is a math mode command. For text backslash, use \textbackslash or \letterbackslash. You can also try \chapter{Can you type \tex{bye}?} Aditya
