I have searched but have not found a solution to the following problem. I am trying to shift the location of a dot accent over a greek letter using the textgreek
package. However, the dot is shifted left of the letter. I've seen solutions to solve this problem in math mode, however I would like to use the greek letter in text mode. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
A minimal working example would look like this.
\documentclass[9pt,twocolumn,twoside,lineno]{article}
\usepackage{textgreek}
\begin{document}
I would like this \.{\textgamma}, and not
$\dot{\gamma}$ this.
\end{document}

\textdot{}
