[texhax] How to accent Garcia?

[Tom Schneider]

Dear Texhaxers:

I have a reference that should have an accent over an i in 'Garcia'. 
This form:

   Garc\'{i}a

works, but there is a dot on the i in addition to the accent.

The LaTeX book by Lamport on page 50 gives a solution: use \imath.
That is fine, but the i becomes math italic, which will not
do!

Ok, try to put it in an mbox:

{Garc\'{$\mbox{\imath}$}a de Abajo}

This fails because the imath is no longer in math mode.

The LaTeX FAQ has nothing about this that I could find:

http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?keyword=accent

Two other FAQs I list on my pages at
http://www.lecb.ncifcrf.gov/~toms/latex.html#latex.tex.resources
don't help either.

Web searches didn't help.

Anybody have an idea for this?

The reference is:

Phys. Rev. Lett. 90, 057401 (2003)
Optical Properties of Gold Nanorings
J. Aizpurua,1 P. Hanarp,2 D. S. Sutherland,2 M. Käll,2 Garnett W.
Bryant,1 and F. J. García de Abajo

(Amusingly, the cut and paste from the APS web site gave the unicode
character which shows up correctly for me on this terminal ...  LaTeX
does not - yet??? - accept this character.)

Regards to all,

Tom
