Since I am using "option 2", that is using makeindex with \makeglossaries and \printglossaries I had to resort to create different categories (here Greek and Latin) by using \newglossaryentry.
However, I am not happy with the space between "angular frequency" and the heading "Latin symbols" (in red on the picture attached) and in a minor proportion of the space between the heading and its first entry (in blue)
