Default Special letter or homemade font


This is perhaps on the edge of an Excel forum, but I try anyway: I often
work with statistics, where the average of a sample is designated as an
'X-overscore', ie. an X with a short horizontal line over it.
This character is not in the character map so if I need it for printing
results I must first create it in the Word Formula Editor and then
afterwards carry it over in Excel, which is rather bothersome.

I think I have once seen a method to create ones own letters in a font,
but I surely do not remember where. Anyone knows about this?

And by the way - no, I cannot use the greek letter µ, which denotes the
theoretical average of the whole population. It is not the same as a
sample average.
