------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Oct 16 00:20:18 +0000 2007 ------- The problem isn't that the UI font would be unable to show Greek characters. (It typically can, see rows 4..10 in the spreadsheet I attached.) The problem is that the characters that look like Greek in the Symbol font are actually not Greek characters. They are from the Unicode Private Use area. They just happen to look like Greek characters in the Symbol font. Most fonts don't contain any Private Use characters, or if they do, they can look completely different. (That is what Private Use means.) Real Greek characters, on the other hand, if present in a font, will always look as they should (modulo typographic style differences, of course). Don't use the Symbol font. If you for instance happen upon some webpage that claims that using the Symbol font is a good way to get Greek characters into a document, please complain to the author of the webpage. Using the Symbol font for occasional Greek characters in otherwise English documents might have been a good idea in ancient Windows 3.x times if the common Windows fonts at that time didn't include Greek (did they? no idea.), but it certainly isn't any longer. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
