From extensive research (say 3 years ago),
fonts that we would want fabricate: don't exist.
There may be a way by composing a symbol using
MGCSoft. I tried but never made it, because Mathcad
does not recognize a picture as a variable name.
Is there some way of using different fonts within the same variable definition? An example is if I want to use the "perpendicular" symbol from the SYMBOL font, can I combine that with alpha or greek characters in a different font to define a single variable? Or can we currently only have one font for a particular variable name?
You can have two fonts within a variable. One font is set by the math style assigned to that variable. The other is always the symbol font. ctrl-g will toggle a character between these two fonts.
Note that Greek letters are gotten simply by using the symbol font on code points that correspond to Greek letters.

CTRL+F7 creates prime, prime, prime ,,,
have meaning only in Odesolve,
otherwise: cosmetic (then useless and confusing)
Dot, double dot: German ?
