> [@Maserschmidt](#): > > Kids’ pasta in Greek, but no soup. (radio) Seems relatively easy to convert it into soup, though. I wonder how they keep the capital Xi from floating apart?

> [@eburacum45](#): > > I wonder how they keep the capital Xi from floating apart? It looks to me like there might be one right below the \alpha in the “\mu\alpha\varsigma” in that photo. Basically, they just made the lines wide enough that they join together. ---

When was the last time you saw alphabet soup (cereal, noodles) which had both majuscule and minuscule letters? Seems easy enough to avoid the difficult ones. You gonna complain? ---
