ooh ooh ooh QUESTION!
 

.

haha
 

Actually I need to know this too......but your last line was funny. I say that all the time. :)

Thank you to SapphireSphinx9 on the Phi Sigma Sigma forum for posting this information a few months back. It helped me get my signature.


Basically, you're gonna need to use html in your signature section of your profile.

The html code for it is:
[font*(select a font)][size*(select a size)][color*(select a color)] (this is where you type the word/letters that you want) [/font][/size][/color]

Substitute the * for = and put actual words in where the ( )'s are!

for instance Font to get Greek Letters is Symbol. So for Phi Sigma Sigma I would write [font=symbol] Then I would type in PSS because those letters correspond to the Greek letters in symbol font.

Once you've typed in your choice of font, size, and color and then the words you want to type then you need to close each one off by using the brackets, /, and the word of the the one you want to close off. See above.

Actually, phisigduchesscv, the equivalent for phi is F. P would give you a pi.

To get my letters, I did:

[ font=symbol ][ color=green ]AEF[ /color ][ /font ]

(remove the spaces in the brackets)

Most of the match-ups between our alphabet and the Greek alphabet (symbol font) are pretty intuitive.

HTH :)

thanks everyone, lets see if i got it to work for me

Thanks! I'd been wondering that for a while, too.

how do i amake a gamma

... maybe this is it?

just testing out my new sig :)

Testing

I'm just testing too... let's see...

Ah! What did I do wrong? :(

Let's try this one more time.. .if I get it wrong, can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? As you can probably see... I'm not very computer knowledgable. ;)

did this work?

ADPiViolets, take out the spaces within the brackets.

thetakates, looks like your font tag is in the wrong place, or possibly you're missing a tag. Try:

[ font=symbol ][ size=18 ]KAO[ /size ][ /font ]

(I'm not sure if O is theta, I think it's omicron...)

Edited to add: thetakates, the gold isn't really legible against the grey background. You might want to try to find a darker shade, or go for black.

ADPiViolets-You need to take the spaces out from the brackets. It should work then.

Sorry, AEPhi Alum...I didn't see you had posted. I believe Theta is Q. Let's try: Q

Yeah, theta is Q.

Someone should post the symbol equivalents so that we all know...

ok, how does this look?

Now I'm curious! How do I get "html" to be on? Mine is off and won't let me click on it.

Just testing


DSQ

Testing...
 

Just Testing...this probably didn't work

I don't know what I'm doing...I need help! :(

How do you make an omega?

In Symbol font, a Chi is C and an Omega is W. So Alpha Chi Omega would be typed ACW. Go fig.

did this work?

Greek Letters in Symbol Font
 

Because I don't want to clean my room at all...

A B G D E Z H Q I K L M N X O P R S T U F C Y W

A B G D E Z H Q I K L M N X O P R S T U F C Y W


So for example, I used GFB to make Gamma Phi Beta, AXD to make Alpha Xi Delta, PBF to make Pi Beta Phi, CY to make Chi Psi, etc...

testing

another test

ARRRGH! I keep fiddling and all I'm getting is the G instead of a gamma on that first KKG. Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong? This is what I have...asterisks omitted, of course. [size=*(76)][color=*(blue)] KKG [/size][/color] [color=*(blue)] The owl, the key, the fleur de lis, the blue and blue...that's for me! Rah-rah for KKG![/color]

let's see if this works!
 

Just checking to see if I did this right :)

one more time
 

let's try that again!

once again
 

let's see if I did this right........

You have to make sure things are put in symbol font.
Type {font=symbol}KKG{/font}, using [ and ] instead of { and } if you are trying to make KKG.

Let's see if this worked for me.

just testing.....

it works!!!!

SxyDeltaGam, the first thing you need to do is turn on your signature. Below the space where you type your post, there's a check box called "Show Signature" - be sure that's checked. There's something you can set in your profile so that it's checked by default. Then, all you need to do is set up your letters using symbol font - for instance

[ font=symbol ]DG[ /font ]

gives you

DG

Just take out the spaces I inserted in the code above.

just wanted to see if it would work for me

Take the spaces out of your brackets and your letters should show up fine.
