[gradsusr] accents

[Jennifer Adams]

To clarify, fonts in GrADS are hershey fonts. Each letter is represented by a collection of small line segments that can be scaled and rotated. Some symbols can be drawn with font 3, please get ftp://cola.gmu.edu/grads/scripts/font.gs and try running it like this: 
   ga-> font 3
…and you'll see all the symbols. A page in the documentation that describes how to specify different fonts is at http://iges.org/grads/gadoc/fontcontrol.html. 
I don't believe that you can draw a letter with an accent symbol above it unless you draw the two symbols separately.
