[solved] Greek letters or symbols in inkscape

Well, I'm trying to produce a greek letter in inkscape using the font "Standard Symbols L" in inkscape and it does not work. It looks like it is a regular font and I cannot found a way to make any greek letter in inkscape.
inkscape version is 0.46-8
Here is the list of the fonts installed on my system:
pacman -Q|grep font
artwiz-fonts 1.3-3
fontcacheproto 0.1.2-1
fontconfig 2.6.0-2
fontsproto 2.0.2-1
gsfonts 8.11-4
libfontenc 1.0.4-1
libxfont 1.3.3-1
libxfontcache 1.0.4-1

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

[Solved] Greek letters in bar

Hi.
How can I name my workspaces in bspwm using greek letters (alpha, beta, gamma)?

Are you able to see greek characters correctly in your system? Have you set the locale so that greek utf -8 characters are displayed corectly?
If not, go to /etc/locale.gen and uncomment the greek locale lines
el_GR.UTF-8 UTF-8
el_GR ISO-8859-7
and then update the system with
locale-gen
I do not use bspwm but from a quick look, and asssuming you can view and type greek UTF-8 characters, I imagine you add in your bspwmrc
bspc monitor -d α β γ δ ε ζ η θ

Greek Letters, Symbols for College Fraternities and Sororites

Does anyone know how to access a palette of characters that has Greek letters or symbols for Greek Fraternities and Sororities? I am working on a project and I need to have their letters on the screen.
Thanks!
Examples:
Delta looks like a triangle
Omega looks like a horseshoe
Phi looks like a O with a line in the middle of it.

Here's another way.
Go to System Preferences > International > Input Menu.
Activate the checkboxes for Character Palette and Keyboard Viewer.
Close System Preferences. You will notice that a flag has appeared in your menu bar.
Click the flag and choose Character Palette. Click on Greek in the left column.
In FCP, activate the text input field by clicking in it once.
Double clicking the symbols in the Character Palette will insert them in the text input field.

Greek Letters and Superscript

Is it possible to insert a greek character into pages on the ipad? When I import an office doc containing a greek character, the greek character is present. Also, is it possible to superscript and subscript in pages on the ipad?

I know this is an old thread but it's still the top result in google for this problem so I'm posting here.
I had been copy/pasting greek letters & other symbols for a long time before I realised this trick today.
Use the iPad's shortcuts feature in keyboard settings for any symbols you use regularly, eg I use "ss2" as a shortcut for 2 and "/-" for ±, still a work around but alot smoother than what I've been doing for over a year with the added bonus of working in any app.
Combined with the greek intl keyboard this is barely a problem, even if it is a glaring omission by apple.

I want to use some Greek letters. I found the font "Symbols" which shows what I want but I cannot print in it. I can print in all the other fonts.

I want to use some Greek letters. I found the font "Symbols" which shows what I want but I cannot print in it. I can print in all the other fonts. What can I do?

To type Greek, go to system preferences/language & text/input sources and check the box for Greek, plus the box for Show Input Menu in Menu Bar, plus the box for Keyboard Viewer. The select Greek from the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen and type. Select Keyboard Viewer from the same menu to see which key does what. Do not worry about the font, that is taken care of automatically.

Using Greek letters and medical symbols in DW

I am new to a medical college and have never used medical or
Greek symbols in web pages. I have located the HTML entity
reference for greek letters in DW. However, some of the medical
publication references must show numbers slightly below the text
baseline. These are not available in the DW list.
Can anyone advise me on how to create numbers below a text
baseline?

Wrap the entities in a tag.
Ex:
Logn(x) = 2.14

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.

Bolding Greek letters in Framemaker equations

Is there a way to bold Greek letters within equations in Frame? Thanks.
Carol

Thanks - I do have the latest version and the character map, but the greek letters I'm finding in bold don't copy into equation setups.? I'm just needing the bold for earmarking purposes and not to be part of the final document.?
Carol
==================
Bold is (over) used in Mathematics. It appears everywhere even with Greek
letters. The lack of bold Greek was due to the bold font in the Symbol font.
Many fonts are available that provide bold Greek letters. They are available in
various different mathematical fonts as well as Greek fonts. In fact, with the
advent of Unicode there are more fonts that provide bold Greek letters. Of
course you need a modern version of Frame to access the Greek Alphabet available
in some Unicode fonts.

Qt and xfce and a bunch of greek letters

first of all i googled my self into some of this conclusion so let's see my case
all programs that use qt in my computer have a strange way to comunicate with the user. for that they use a greek letters that we mentaly have to see similarities in order to read!!!
a bunch of programs in greek.
notepaddqq
vlc
on qtconfig-qt4 we can see what went wrong in the first image, we have a font called Standard Simbols L and just looks like Greek
here i select tahoma font and the sample is now readable
the problem is when i save changes and close it. it doesn't save anything,
and a little bit of information when i do su every program runs in english
here is the config with tahoma
check that strange font here when i selected it
i use greybird as my theme, (i read that could be for this somewhere)
and my locale is set this way
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"

LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

that file is another issue. it is created when i open any qt program. i already deleted it. and call qtconfig-qt4, deleted and call vlc and is same old greek. i even edited it to tahoma instead of standard symbols L. i already ran qtconfig then rm it then save the configs (in this case it saved tahoma in the file). i don't know what else to do with that file. maybe a copy paste from a functional one would resolve it but I doubt it.
Thanks

I have an iPod Touch 4th Generation and it's acting weird. It looks to be something like a calibration error but i don't exactly know. It won't let me tap letters and symbols such as ' ; R and D'. Help?

So my iPod Touch forth gen is acting up. When i try to slide the button to unlock the lock screen, it slides back. It takes several tries for me to do that. I'm able to tap the numbers for the code, but when i try to send messages to my friends or write one of my fanfictions, it goes haywire. It'll enter in letters and words that i didn't even tap on. When i try to tap on a couple of things in particular, it ignores it. '; R D and ~' are some of the letters and symbols that I'm having issues with. Can someone please tell me what's going on? I've restarted it dozens of times, re-entered my passcode, deleted data, and even re-downloaded the keyboards a couple of times. Help!

Please give me some suggestions to improve this issue. Regards

Hey quantum info,
Thank you for posting at Adobe forums. We would love to help you out.
Could you please let me know if you have tried converting other web pages to PDF and checked if the same issue persists.
How have you been trying to convert the web page to PDF?
Are you trying to convert to PDF directly via browsers or using "File > Create > PDF from Web Page" option in Acrobat.
Let me know more so that I can analyze where actually the issue persists.
Hope to hear from you.

Keyboard problem typing random letters and symbols

I'm having a keyboard problem, the g key, t key, and 5 key type random letters and symbols. i just spent $700 a few monoths ago to a genius [at getting my money] for a logic board after spillin somethin on it. didnt spill anyqthing time. shoot. is this goin to be another major expenditure? downloaded os x 9.4, hoping that might somehow cure it. yeah right

Hi Rob,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your running into an issue with the keyboard on your MacBook Pro. The article linked below provides suggestions that will resolve most keyboard issues like the one you described.
OS X Mavericks: If keys on your keyboard don’t work
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13809
If other keys don’t work
You may have accidentally set an option that changes how your keyboard operates.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Dictation & Speech, then click “Text to Speech.” If “Speak selected text when the key is pressed” is selected, deselect it or click Change Key to select another key.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, then click Keyboard. Make sure Slow Keys is turned off. If Slow Keys is on, you must hold down a key longer than usual before it’s recognized.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, then click Mouse & Trackpad. Make sure Mouse Keys is off. If Mouse Keys is on, pressing keys in the numeric keypad moves the pointer instead of entering numbers.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Keyboard, then click Input Sources. Select “Show Input menu in menu bar.” Open the Input menu and make sure the correct keyboard layout is selected. To see the keyboard layout, click Keyboard, then choose “Show Keyboard & Character Viewers in menu bar.”
I hope this helps.

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
