I am a little late in this post but. . . .

I tend to not remember the "alt" command.  I use the "Insert Special 
Character" option.  I did check out several non Unicode fonts.  Many of 
them do not show the "Rx" symbol shaded in the character window, when I 
type in the hex code of "211E".

So it is helpful to have a good, full, Unicode font.  I use Arial 
Unicode.  If you know of a free Unicode font that has near Arial's 
number of symbols and glyphs, I would really like to know.  It would be 
nice to have both a Serif and San-Serif versions.
