I would like to know if there is a way to abbreviate "saint" in this french way. A dash is also commonly used.

My researches are unsuccessful at this point, thanks in advance.

  This is not a standard abbreviation and is used just for street signs, as far as I know. Did you find in other texts?

  Okay did not know that. I don't think so, mainly on street sign yes. I really like the way it look compare to a simple St. I should not use it in a french document?

  Normally, this adjective should not be abbreviated in French, except occasionally if you're lacking space.

The following should produce what you want. You can use an optional argument to specify another letter than T (e.g. t):

documentclass[]{article}



newsaveboxmyboxA

newsaveboxmyboxB

newcommandsaint[1][T]

  {%

    begingroup

    sboxmyboxA{S}%

    useboxmyboxA

    sboxmyboxB{tiny#1}%

    rlap{raisebox{dimexprhtmyboxA-htmyboxB}{useboxmyboxB}}%

    makebox[wdmyboxB]{.}%

    endgroup

  }



begin{document}

saint Germain
