Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it out - made a short document with
\usepackage{tgpagella} and some emphasised (and non-emphasised) Greek - but
again I just got upright computer modern substitutions for both. This is quite
surprising since Pagella claims to support Greek - in fact from what I can tell
it's practically its purpose. Perhaps my system is somehow not setup
correctly.
Here's the warning I get
LaTeX Font Warning: Font shape `LGR/qpl/m/n' undefined
(Font) using `LGR/cmr/m/n' instead on input line 18.
Anyway, this is turning out to be a lot more effort than it's probably worth.
I
will do my readers a favour and just spell out "pseudodifferential operator" in
full when I need it!
Thanks,
jim
