Greek letter signatures
 

How do u put them in your signature

You will need the Symbol TrueType font installed on your computer (most Windows installations will have it). Use the guide below to select the Greek letters:

A, a (Alpha) = A
B, b (Beta) = B
G, g (Gamma) = G
D, d (Delta) = D
E, e (Epsilon) = E
Z, z (Zeta) = Z
H, h (Eta) = H
Q, q (Theta) = Q
I, i (Iota) = I
K, k (Kappa) = K
L, l (Lambda) = L
M, m (Mu) = M
N, n (Nu) = N
X, x (Xi) = X
O, o (Omicron) = O
P, p (Pi) = P
R, r (Rho) = R
S, s (Sigma) = S
T, t (Tau) = T
U, u (Upsilon) = U
F, f (Phi) = F
C, c (Chi) = C
Y, y (Psi) = Y
W, w (Omega) = W
V (Sigma – used only at the end of a word) = V

You'll need to put your code in UBB Code like so (omit the space between the brackets):

[ font=symbol ]ABGDEZHQIKLMNXOPRSTUFCYW[ /font ]

This should appear like this:

ABGDEZHQIKLMNXOPRSTUFCYW

Hope this helps.


P.S. Dammit, John, we need this as a FAQ topic!!!! :) This has been 'Murrayed' several times on GC.

thanks i think i may have it

OK now how to i add colors to it and make it bigger

pretty much in the same way...

[ color=red ] [ /color ]
[ size=6 ] [ /size ]


but without the spaces in the brackets.

FYI, 6 is an awfully large font...

...some would say too large.

i was just using that as an example... not saying that that's what she should use....

Hope this helps.
 

Strawberrysismd,

The colours for Zeta Tau Apha Fraternity are Turqouise Blue and Steel Gray. For Turquoise Blue to be represented on GreekChat you would use "sky blue" and for Steel Gray I would think "silver" would be closest. Now, onto the signature... I added the ZTA motto "Seek The Noblest" (from their website) to my example, too.

Example:
[COLOR=sky blue]Z [/color] T[COLOR=sky blue] A[/color]
[COLOR=sky blue]Seek The Noblest [/color]

How to reproduce example: It's done by using the codes, e.g to make text bold you put [ b ] before it. And [ / b ] after it. Except without those spaces in between the brackets [] and the letters inside. In other words [codeletter] not [ codeletter ].
I can't give you the exact code to reproduce the example allowing you to just copy and paste that code, because if I use the codes, it'll actually make whatever I type bold or in color, or a particular size etc so when you copy it only the actual text not its attributes (color, size etc) will be stored for you to paste in to the signature section.

Strawberrysismd, the next best thing I can do is put all the code you need with a slight change for you to do. What I'll do is paste all the code and put spaces in all of the brackets so it allows you to see what the code IS without making the code itself invisible. Then, when you copy and paste it for your signature, simply remove those spaces between all those brackets to "activate" the code and you'll be good to go. Obviously the example I used above is just an example, so you can change it (change colors/remove the quote, whatever) if it's unsuitable.

Code - WITH SPACES TO REMOVE - to put in signature so you can reproduce example:

[ size=5 ] [ b ] [ COLOR=sky blue ]Z [ /color ] [ COLOR=silver ]T[ /color ][ COLOR=sky blue ] A[ /color ] [ /size ]
[ size=3 ] [ i ] [ FONT=times new roman ] [ COLOR=sky blue ]Seek The Noblest[ /size ] [ /i ] [ /FONT ] [ /color ] [ /b ]

And where do you PUT all that code? Well, up at the top you have the button for the "user cp", you enter it in the 'Edit Profile' section of that user control panel. Paste it into the Signature section of your profile, spend a few moments removing the spaces between the brackets so they read [codeinhere] and [/othercodeinhere] not [ codeinhere ] and [ /othercodeinhere ] and that, Strawberrysismd, will be it.

N.B "sky blue" and "times new roman" are meant to have spaces between each of the the words themselves but not after the last word or before the first one, for it to work. Hope that makes sense. In other words with spaces removed in the signature section of the profile section, you're looking for sky blue and times new roman not skyblue and timesnewroman. Lastly, any other spaces not *inside* the brackets are there for a reason, otherwise you'd have SeekTheNoblest not Seek The Noblest. ;) Just remove all spaces inside the brackets except between the words "sky" and "blue" and "times" and "new" and "roman" and you'll be fine.

Honestly, it's not so complicated as it sounds, I just have a tendency to ramble! Let me know if you have anymore questions. :D

decadence.

Let's try this

Dont mind me while I play around....

hehe.. thanks for everyone's help!!

Re: Hope this helps.
 

You can manually type in turquoise as I have done in my signature. This gives a closer to match to Zeta's actual colors. The next best color to use would probably be teal. You can use silver or you can manually type in gray like I've done.

how do you get the little hearts or squirrels or crescent moons I have seen lately in some signatures????

:confused:

Cele,

Using the Wingdings font, the crescent moon is the capital Z. Go into your signature and type [ FONT=wingdings ] Z [ /FONT ] without the spaces.

It's the closest thing I could find :)

Hope this helps!
Annie :)

YaY~ thanks Cluey!!

I found a diamond! :D

Just trying it out

hey there,

any clue for a pyramid or a sphinx?

Carolyn

what is the symbol to get the heart???:confused: :confused: :confused:

i'm just checking if it worked in my signature

-k

Nevermind me - just testing :D

just trying to see if mine works....:D

how do I get the "G" to be a gamma?...i know it has something to do with the font, but I don't understand how to change it or what font to use?

[ font=symbol ]G[ /font ]

take out the spaces between the brackets.

just testing...

thanks! I got it to work :D

Damn Computer Geek Kids!:(

Does anyone speak English?

Reason I have mine (Will Not Change it) is because a former member of GC sent it to me!

Thank asturge where ever you are!:cool:

seeing if this works

test

Ok...I must be the biggest moron in the world but I can not for my life figure this stuff out. I just want my letters in pink and green in my signature. If anyone can help me it would be GREAT!! Thanks!

Now it is my turn to try and do the letters thingy.

At least I got the letters...I'll try for the color and size later.:confused:

Just testing it out...

seeing if this is working

one more time
 

I belong to Tau Kappa Epsilon...now, how's that again?

I wonder if I did it right??

I got the Greek letters...now how would I use a script font in my .sig?

This really should be a FAQ.

Y = Y
Webdings font.
