All these symbols are invoked from within the _SYMB( ) macro.

Most everything is at 20pt size and was generated with xfig, cropped & reversed with xv, and the background was made transparent with giftrans. However, the foreground color is black.

These symbols are a simple and useful hack until the time when HTML fully supports math equation typesetting in a form similar to LaTeX. The problem with using these gifs is that all the symbols are place flush with the output line ... there's no concept of descenders like the letter g or y.

The entire collection of gifs can be downloaded.
