It is separate. Unicode doesn't in general unify letters and symbols. It is typical for the existence quantifier to be sans serif even where the surrounding context is serif, in any event. -- John Cowan jcowan@reutershealth.com www.reutershealth.com www.ccil.org/~cowan The known is finite, the unknown infinite; intellectually we stand on an islet in the midst of an illimitable ocean of inexplicability. Our business in every generation is to reclaim a little more land, to add something to the extent and the solidity of our possessions. --Thomas Henry Huxley
