This needs to be placed as a 'sticky' so that it can be found by all... my fellow mods, are you listening???

If you use Windoze 95, 98 Me, or XP (also NT, 2000 and XP Pro) you should have a font called 'Symbol'. It's what everyone uses to create the Greek fonts you see in most everyone's sigs. If you do not have that font installed, you'll only see the English keyboard equivalent. Below is the keyboard equivalent for the Symbol font:

Alpha -- A
Beta -- B
Gamma -- G
Delta -- D
Epsilon -- E
Zeta -- Z
Eta -- H
Theta -- Q
Iota -- I
Kappa -- K
Lambda -- L
Mu -- M
Nu -- N
Xi -- X
Omicron -- O
Pi -- P
Rho -- R
Sigma -- S
Tau -- T
Upsilon -- U
Phi -- F
Chi -- C
Psi -- Y
Omega -- W
Sigma (lowercase at end of a word) -- V

To create the Greek letter equivalent do the following:

[ font=symbol ]A S F[ /font ] (Spaces added to vBulletin code to prevent them from executing.) should convert to ASF.
