I can't figure out how to do this with a TrueType font.

You mean this    <    >

Standard keyboard keys from what I can see.

If you can't find it in "insert - symbol" try Ascii Code 0242 (hold alt and
type 0242 or 242 on your number pad - on laptops use the num key lock). That
should give you the "equal or greater than" sign. See
http://chexed.com/ComputerTips/asciicodes.php for a description of all ascii
codes. You may have to use a "0" in fron of the 3-digit codes. It works on
all keyboards or applications.

Hope this helps.

In PowerPoint here that gives me a grave "o"?

You're right John, so it does for me in PPT. Sorry. I know that I've used
something similar in the past for PowerPoint. I'll try to digg it out. Will
post it if I can find it.

Got it: In PPT it's not an Ascii code. It comes through the "Symbol" font,
which is a system font and should ship with Windows. It's "Symbol (decimal)
179. Go "Insert-Symbol" choose the Symbol font and select the forth posititon
from left 10 rows down. Sorry for the confusion. I use Ascii Codes for German
Umlauts and I usually just believe the internet lists that are out there
because they've never failed me. Not in this instance though...

Insert | Symbol. Normal Text. Choose "mathematical operators" from the
Subset dropdown, and it should be in there.

Please don't use <  or > and then just add an underline -- that looks so
very bad....

Yeah, I can't ever remember Alt codes, so I have to resort to the Insert |
Symbol thing. :-)
