Thanks Philippe, but nope, it does not work that easily.
It does for "\alpha", but my real use case is a bit more complicated and calling titlepage directly is a mess.
I use titlepage(errormessage) where errormessage is a string array with a lot of starting and trailing " " (white spaces).
I need to preserve these white spaces and use a monospace font to preserve the relative alignment between the different lines in the array.
Doing this is a bit convolved when using titlepage alone:
 - add some character at the begining of each line (to prevent titlepage from stripping the white spaces),
 - call titlepage,
 - get a handle the the create textbox,
 - change text justification (middle->lef centered)
 - change font style (0 for monospace).

This is what I use now, but titlepage("$\verb| error message |$") would have been more compact and elegant.

Cheers,

Antoine
