Yes, especially in PDF files,  but not all of them, and I tried
not to include any of those in the examples I quoted.

A number of the examples I found were in media where mu might
be unavailable: usenet, assorted online forums, etc.  Still, I
stand by my point: regardless of whether mF is technically
ambiguous, it has become linguisticly ambiguous...
