Public bug reported: Binary package hint: abiword-gnome
There are a few ways to insert a greek character. The first method Insert -> Symbol -> Select "Greek and Coptic" unicode block, click the capital delta -- the letter inserted is the degree symbol. The "Character Details" portion is pasted below: Δ U+0394 GREEK CAPITAL LETTER DELTA Unicode category: Letter, Uppercase Various Useful Representations UTF-8: 0xCE 0x94 UTF-16: 0x0394 C octal escaped UTF-8: \316\224 XML decimal entity: Δ Copying the symbol from OO.writer produces the same effect. It is possible to correctly insert a Delta however, if instead of selecting "Greek and Coptic" you leave "Unicode Block" set to "All" and double-click D, a capital delta will be inserted. This bug does NOT seem to affect the abiword package, just the abiword- gnome package. ** Affects: abiword (Ubuntu) Severity: Normal Priority: (none set) Status: Unconfirmed -- Inserting Greek Character Sometimes Inserts Degree Symbol https://launchpad.net/bugs/47696 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
