It wasn't that I was worried it can't be done, just that I'm looking for the safest way. If I'm making this for public consumption, who knows what fonts will get used on the other end... and will the encoding be preserved through various conversions? Would doing it in Html and using α and β codes, be better... or putting in LaTeX and using \alpha and \beta, etc.? That's what I'm trying to decide currently.

Nice byline, by the way.
