I did that too and it doesn't work for me, so the hell with it! Why can't they just make it like it is in word!

Stop trying to be grown and just cut and paste the examples that they provided on page 1. Just replace their letters with KAY. :D

Symbol doesn't always work! All of the Greek letters posted here (and ribbons, for that matter), I can't see 'em. But I can see the letters in my signature. I have the Symbol font installed on my computoy too, so that's not it--I think it varies between browsers. For example, when you see Alpha, Phi, and Omega, I see AFW.

There's a trick. Every font has tons more characters than you think. (My letters are actually in the "Georgia" font.) Go to Character Map and scroll a lot. There's a Greek alphabet hidden in there, I promise. ;)

However, because I'm fantastic and generally awesome, I'm gonna copy and paste for y'all!

I think this should work on Macs too--I don't know, I don't have my MacBook with me right this second.

I've never been able to see the Symbol font characters on here (which is so weird, b/c I can in Word), and I also have a Mac (MaryAmanda and I are cool like that :D ). I can see the letter's in MAmanda's sig, but no one else's ... neat trick to know!

The quick fix for netscape/firefox posted in chit chat: http://www.greekchat.com/gcforums/sh...ad.php?t=83864

I don't know if safari has the same problem or not.

That won't help us Mac users.

My style of Greek letters (above) works on both PCs and Macs, by the way. I checked. :)

Some cool greek fonts..
 
Do a google search for "greek fonts". Theres a few cool ones I've gotten off of free font sites like 1001fonts.com. Then just install em in your windows font directory and you can use them in word or photoshop or whatever.

But for the internet, the easiest way is just to use the symbol font. It's a pain in the ass i know...

Bumping this because I finally figured it out...SK

:p

Am I a noob or is my computer weird?

Because I see it as "SK, DSQ, LXA, etc" except in Times New Roman.

I don't see any Greek symbols.. :confused:

Are you using Firefox? Mine does the same thing. There's a way you can fix it (something to do with font settings), but I don't remember how.
