Type a single letter and then several blank spaces using the space bar.Ĭtrl+Shift+T to open the Text and Font box. To create the arrow successfully, use the text tool. Turn the letter with the arrow into a path then move the arrow into the correct location.Ĭreate a separate text block and use the Unicode by itself, creating the arrow only. But the arrow and the previous letter form a single unit. The arrow over the letter is like an accent. Tried my 'brilliant' solution and it failed. You might consider switching to a different font which contains your needed glyphs (XITS, STIX, …) instead of sticking to Cambria / Cambria Math.ĭiacrits-in-math-fonts-2.svg (7.61 KiB) Downloaded 668 times

But unlike Inkscape's font back end on Windows, on other platforms missing glyphs are silently substituted if available in another installed font (on the screenshot (Mac OS X), the arrows for the 'Cambria' example are silently substituted with those from the 'DejaVu Sans' font): on the other hand both other tested fonts (XITS and XITS Math) do include those symbols which are properly aligned in Inkscape. Later added II: Minor correction: the font 'Cambria' doesn't include the ' Combining Left|Right Arrow Above' characters/glyphs, apparently only 'Cambria Math' does. in Chromium, Safari, Firefox and Squiggle (Batik), only Opera doesn't seem to handle the Unicode diacritical marks as expected.

Later added: Attaching the SVG file used for the screenshot, too - on my system, the SVG file renders identically to Inkscape e.g. Diacrits-in-math-fonts-2.png (48.8 KiB) Viewed 42905 times
