Greek letter in string

I have an online quiz. One of the questions has a portion
that need a greek letter and some subscripts.
I want to just add the question (without the problematic
part) in my Access table, and add the extra portion in my quiz.cfm.
The extra portion is:
DG1y es
independiente de D
G-1
I want to have something like :
<cfif #thisRow# EQ 2>
#question# #extraportion#
</cfif>
but I'm not sure how to set extraportion to be all that HTML.
Can someone help me?
Thanks,
Judy

Never mind. I figured out a solution.

Greek letter problems - Keynote 09 for Macbook vs Keynote for iPad

i have an older macbook pro running keynote 09, and an iPad 2 running the current version of Keynote for iPad. i'm getting erratic behavior uploading presentations to the iPad with greek letters (selected through the character viewer). in general, when i upload presentations the greek letters change to some sort of alien head glyph. if i delete them and reupload, sometimes the greek letters may show up, but it's erratic. how do i fix this?

It sounds like you could be using a non-standard font to create your greek on the macbook. Try using the greek keyboard to input these characters instead of the character viewer. What OS X version is on your macbook?

How do I type the Greek letter mu?

I looked this up on the web and most places say type "Option M" but this doesn't work for me. I have a MacBook Air 3.2 by the way. I have US Extended as the keyboard layout type. Maybe this has something to do with it not working?

On the US Extended, ⌥M is the ogonek dead key. None of the Greek symbols available on the US keylayout are available on the US Extended.
You can use Keyboard Viewer to see a keylayout's input. You can set a keyboard shortcut to switch or cycle between keyboard layouts; this is the most effective way of using the keyboard if you require different inputs. See

My iPhone password is a Greek letter, but my international keyboards were deleted in the iOS 7 update. I can't get into my phone. please help!

Re: I downloaded iOS7 but my passcode was Greek letters on the Greek keyboard. When everything downloaded and iOS7 was ready to go, it asked for my passcode and the Greek keyboard isn't coming up. I've been locked out of my phone for hours. Any ideas?

Do you have a backup?
You could put your phone in DFU mode by holding both the sleep/wake and home buttons till your phone reboots and then releasing the sleep/wake button. It will prompt you to connect to iTunes and you can restore ios7 from there.
Then restore all your settings and apps from the backup.

My iPhone password is Greek letter theta, but my international keyboards were deleted in the iOS 7 update. I can't get into my phone. please help!

it's this Ɵ.

Same for me. This is a terrible bug that Apple should've thought about before releasing iOS7. I knew I couldn't have been the only one locked out because the Greek keyboard disappeared.

Preview and greek letters

I often get pdf's containing som greek letter-symbols (like sigma, tau, gamma etc).
But in some pdfs, the symbols have vanished. They show fine in Acrobat, but not in Safari, Preview or Quick Look.
I have a hunch that a common trait of the faulty pdf's is, that they are created with MS Word and maybe equation editor.
Is there any solution to this? (I tried doing a "save as" from Acrobat, which didn't work)

I think it is a problem with Word created PDFs. I'm having the same problem with some school PDFs as well that were created in Word.
Now it's doubly annoying since I can't use these files on my iPad. At least on the desktop, I can open them with Acrobat Reader.

After updating with ios7, I cannot proceed because I cannot enter my password since it uses Greek letters but the keyboard available is Latin. How can I change the keyboard to Greek?

try tapping holding on the key that would be most similar to the letter you want to enter, that will bring up a menu of other characters similar to that character and maybe the greek letter will be included in that menu

Greek/math symbols do not display in Lion though working correctly in Snow Leopard.

I am attempting to edit/use powerpoint presentations created in Office 2011 on Snow Leopard. Though my math and Greek symbols display perfectly correctly on my Snow Leopard laptop, they do not display on my Lion desktop. Instead, they are replaced with a "W in a box" symbol. I have already been in the FontBook to resolve fonts as suggested on other discussions and this has had no effect. Right now my only solution appears to be to painstakingly replace every single symbol by hand using the "insert symbol" menu, whereas previously I could for example type "D" and then switch the font to "Symbol" to obtain a delta character. It appears to be a font issue with Lion: how do I get the proper symbol font back?
I appreciate any advice!

It is really a bad idea to use the old symbol font that lets you type D to get a greek letter. Instead you should be using Unicode fonts where you input math and greek via the Character Palette or a dedicated Greek keyboard layout.
But I gather that you have to deal with files that were created with the old stuff, and it sounds like your Lion machine is missing the old kind of font. Presumably you have one on your Snow Leopard machine, so you just have to move a copy to the Lion system.

How to make greek letters copiable in pdf files?

Ctrl-C will not copy the greek letters in the following pdf file. For example, if I select Lambda, then type ctrl-C, and ctrl-V to somewhere, I will get nothing pasted. Is there a way to modify the pdf so that greek letters can be copied? Thanks.

For normal windows fonts you right click on the font file and there should be an option to install it. I am not sure if it copies the font to the font folder or it is best to move it there first. As far as embedding so it can be copied, that will not help. The MTMI font is embedded in your PDF. The Times New Roman fonts are not. I embed all fonts used as subsets. However, to copy the font to WORD or such and make it useful, you have to have the font on your system, not just embedded.
From the instructions I read, you have to have more than the tfm file. I think the vf file is the font file. That is not the actual font file. There are some instructions at the site I already pointed to. I would check at the site where you are getting the font. I would just have to search to find the instructions for the file. They would help you for working with the font on your system, but would not do the other aspect you wanted of helping others. As I indicated, the font has to be installed locally to enable proper copying. The fonts files are not copied from the PDF.
Since my original question can not be solved unless I get the font installed in my system (but I can't). Let me change my question a bit.
How to search for such a greek letter \Lambda in this pdf file? Is there a walkaround? Is there a tool can help replace the font of \Lambda by something available in my system?

Very dissapointed! no rendereing of Greek letters very problematic

The main reason I bought the ipad was to have a convenient way to study the many economics academic journal articles I read for grad school. I was loving the ipad (and iAnnotate pdf) until I got to a point in one article where there should have been a Greek letter and it just was not there! I tried several pdf viewers and none seems to render Greek charachters. I was shocked since Greek letters are so common in any article with equations. This means I can't really read about %90 of the articles I need to read! Is there anything I can do? If not I seriously am considering returning this and buying a laptop instead

There was only one PDF reader at the time I when I made PDFs and that was Adobe Acrobat. It wasn't because there was no standard it was because as I state above. If the font was missing on a computer the font was read from the PDF. If the font is missing and not embed the reader will substitute a font. And you can't have font substituting in printing , mess things up really bad. One of the other reasons that a lot of these programs don't embed fonts is fonts are copyright. Netscape a few years back tried to come up with a way to embed fonts on a webpage. Didn't last long until the copyright laws suits started to come in for copyright infringements over the fonts being used.
As for web pages... A good web developer list more than one font in a CCS, in descending order. If a font is missing the next font in the list will be used. If there isn't a declare font for a web page the browser will use the computers default font.
Fonts In a PDF is a iffy thing if they aren't embedded.
It is almost always a good idea to embed fonts, but Tom is absolutely correct that it is not necessary to embed fonts to display Greek. A well formatted PDF using standard fonts with Greek glyphs should display fine without anything embedded. At least, it does so on Mac.
I tried some experiments with different fonts, but there are a lot of variables to juggle around. Anyhow: A Greek PDF with the font Minion pro font only displays well on the iPad if the font is embedded. A Western PDF with the same font always displays fine, even though the iPad does not have Minion Pro.
I failed to find any iPad font with Greek that I could unembed from PDF files. There seems to be some peculiar technical limitation in Adobe Acrobat for Helvetica, Times and Arial, where it always keeps part of the font embedded, no matter how much you tell Adobe Acrobat to unembed them.
Anyhow, you are right that embedding fonts solves a lot of problems, but it is not the only way to solve them.

Greek Fonts in InDesign

I use an Apple iMac with OS 10.5 Leopard. I do have Greek fonts available and they work well with MS WORD and other software. BUT .... they will NOT work with InDesign CS3. I can't type Greek letters directly on an InDesign page. Also, I can't successfully Copy/Paste from a WORD document containing Greek letters. This is a very serious handicap for writing anything related to math or science since Greek letters are so widely used as math and science symbols. Does anyone know of a way to get around this problem? Thanks in advance for help. Carl Thomas

> I do have Greek fonts available and they work well with MS WORD and other software. BUT .... they will NOT work with InDesign CS3. I can't type Greek letters directly on an InDesign page. Also, I can't successfully Copy/Paste from a WORD document containing Greek letters.
In what way do they not work? What happens when you input or paste Greek?
See the illustrated materials that follow below.
NOTE .... these illustrations were missing from my initial query. All of these included images were originally .png format - - "clipped" from my computer screen. The text, however, is the same as initially.
Are you getting missing font messages? What Greek fonts are you using?
No error messages of any kind. Just the "little squares" that you will see in the third illustration below. ........... I'm not adequately knowledgeable about the font business to know "what kind" of fonts these are. My only knowledge is as illustrated below.
This works well with MS WORD also. To get this Greek font, I used the following. All these fonts ... plus lots more ... are available originally with my iMac.
When I Copy/Paste that short material from Text Edit over into InDesign CS3, I get the following. Lots of little squares where the Greek letters should be. I get the same results if I try to type directly into InDesign. ....... Incidentally, I have no problems with typing the other languages and special fonts into InDesign.
INCIDENTALLY ........ I am able to "get around" this problem in a slow and ponderous manner. .... select Special Characters below...... it would be much more convenient to use a keyboard typed input as with the other languages.
and then select from various displays as below. Example: the lower right corner offers the equivalent of the Greek letter phi .... but as an object that can be copied and inserted, rather than as a letter that can be typed.
Thanks for your initial responses. I hope someone can suggest some way to handle the Greek letter typing inyo InDesign in the same way that I can do the Greek letter typing into Text Edit and into Word.
Have a very good week end.

[solved] Greek letters or symbols in inkscape

The best way is to use the textext package in AUR that produces LaTeX formulas into inkscape (in vectorial format, so it does not alter the quality).
Else, any wide charset font should be suitable for greek character, you can copy/paste the greek lettre from a table of characters (the problem is that I've not found any character selector with Gnome/KDE/Xfce dependecy yet.) You can copy from OpenOffice or other (yeah, that's not a real solution and I did that sucessfully for lambda but not epsilon)
Finally, you can type Ctrl+U and type the character code. you will find them in this document : http://unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0370.pdf

When a html coded page requires the Windows Symbol font, Firefox does not call it, and the English alphabet characters display instead. How can I get the Symbol font to work when the page is loaded in Firefox??

''duplicate of https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/902677''
This site shows Greek letters and Greek words by calling for the Windows Symbol font. The page(s) involved display correctly in Internet Explorer, but not in Firefox 3.6.1 or 8.1. In Firefox, the Greek letter does not appear, it is just replaced with the English letter for the equivalent keystroke. Here is a html line that ought to cause Symbol's Greek letter lowercase alpha to be displayed, but all you get is an "a" :
(td width="60")(p align="center")(big)(strong)(font face="Symbol")(span style="font-family: , Symbol")a(/span)(/font)(/strong)(/big)(/td)
**I have had to replace the left and right carets with left and right parentheses. Otherwise, the line actually executes, disappears, and just leaves a bolded "a" on the next line.***

Reemphasizing, the page code works on Internet Explorer. It does _not_ work with Firefox ver 3.6.1 nor ver 8.0.1 (which I upgraded to, to see if that would solve the problem). The MDC FAQ solution is not a solution, because it forces the html coder to change his language just to accommodate Firefox. Firefox needs to change to conform to standards.
What did work was that I followed the solution offered on:
http://hutchinson.belmont.ma.us/tth/firefox3.html
"How to reenable symbol font in Firefox 3 on Windows"
**********Solution*********
Download the file:
http://hutchinson.belmont.ma.us/tth/symbol8859.otf
Go to Control Panel/Fonts/Install New Font
Install the font that was downloaded.
************Problem Solved*********
I think Firefox wants you to use _its_ font faces, not the standard Windows fonts. They do not have a Symbol font to replace the Windows TTF, I guess.

How can I copy text from Pages and paste as Unicode?

I notice that if I write a Pages document on my iMac (this is Pages 09 running under OSX Mavericks 10.9.1) and copy text that contains characters from the "Mac Roman" character set (like the Greek letter pi for example, and some other mathematical symbols), if I paste it into a text file on a PC (I'm running the Mac with Windows via Parallels), then these characters don't show up correctly. If they were copied as Unicode characters then I don't think the problem would exist. I thought that Pages used Unicode, but it doesn't apparently apply to stuff that gets onto the Mac clipboard. I do know that if I export a whole Pages document it is possible for it to be exported in Unicode, but I just want to copy small bits of text like mathematical formulae and paste them into Unicode-compliant applications. Is this possible? There's nothing in the Pages Preferences to suggest that it is. Is there any solution to this?
TIA

Tom, I'm sorry I think I have wasted your time. My initial experiments seemed to show that what I was trying to do didn't work, but now it all seems to work. No idea why. I think there is a problem somewhere, but not where I thought it was. I think what may be happening is that when the Mac clipboard sees some Mac Roman text, it converts and stores it in Unicode form, so things work as long as the receiving app is Unicode aware - or Parallels is doing the job for me, or Pages is. Good if this is true. The only issue then would be that, if a program for the PC is looking for characters by their encodings, it will have to use the Unicode ones to find things, whereas the equivalent code on a Mac will have to look for the Mac Roman encodings as well as Unicode.
Just to explain, I am not using a specialised mathematical formula editor, but I do expect my user to use the math symbols easily accessible on the Mac keyboard, particularly the Greek letter pi (lower case), division sign, less than or equal to, greater than or equal to, square root. The user can type text directly or paste it in from another application. On the PC side I am not using Microsoft Word but a program I'm developing that can create fields into which I can put text, similar I suppose to NotePad. Just to be able to be cross-platform, I expect users to use the built-in Windows Character Viewer or similar to make the same symbols accessible as in the Mac version.
If everyone was using Unicode the problem (if there is one) wouldn't exist.
I may well come back with a similar issue in the future, but my original issue, although the description was given in good faith, seems to be wrong. So I'm saying the problem is solved.
