Copy-paste them from elsewhere (Wikipedia must have an entry for the greek alphabet). Hi together, all works fine, my starmap is great. I use the trick to copy the letters from a word-document.

Re: [Gimp-user] greek letters
Are you using Linux? What is your locale setting? I can't type an alpha either, on Debian Sid, UTF-8, libgtk2 2.24.23-1, git master gimp from a few days ago. [fixed version, sorry!] For me, using the Gimp on-canvas text tool, hold down control and keep it pressed hold down shift and keep it pressed press u and let it go (keeping control and shift pressed) press 3 and let go press b and let go press 1 and let go let go of control and shift will insert a lower-case Greek letter alpha (α). When I try that, it works up to the b (as soon as I type the u a little window pops up and subsequent digits go there), but it refuses to accept either b or c -- it simply does nothing for those letters, and nothing appears in the little IM window. It will accept digits 0-7 and 9 and a, d, e or f but not 8, b or c. gnome-terminal behaves the same way. We discussed it on IRC and Liam wondered whether I had some other binding for ctrl-shift-b and c and ctrl-shift-8 -- it's possible, but if so I don't know about it and they don't do anything I can see. I can't find any such bindings in my window manager. It works two different ways on this windoze box (can't test on my fbsd box as I'm rebuilding world now). 1. Release the ctrl and shift after typing 'u'. Then hit enter after all the hex chars are in. 2. Keep ctrl and shift down until done with hex chars; releasing ctrlshift completes the sequence Does the problem exist with both methods?

On my Debian testing system, they work just about everywhere. -- Regards, Michael GPG: 96A8 B38A 728A 577D 724D 60E5 F855 53EC B36D 4CDD ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

No, only with the second one. The first method works and allows me to enter an alpha.

No, only with the second one. The first method works and allows me to enter an alpha. (Can't speak for the original poster.) That points strongly to there being some sort of keyboard accelerator overriding the input for the characters that don't work, since in the first case after ctrlshiftu the characters being typed are normal and in the second they have the ctrlshift modifiers as part of the keystroke. I can think of only three likely place for that to be taking place: 1. Gimp 2. window manager 3. x-server mappings via xmodmap fwiw, both methods work here on win7 and fbsd. Does anyone know of any other app that uses ctrlshiftu to start a unicode entry? If so, what happens in that app? Or any app where it could be assigned temporarily for testing? Alternatively, one could try assigning one of the sequences which doesn't work to some gimp function and see if that works. If it works, it would indicate the keystroke was getting to gimp and is not being siphoned off somewhere higher up. If it doesn't work, it doesn't say anything one way or the other.

If that doesn't work, gucharmap (gnome character map) will let you copy Greek letters that you can paste into gimp. You can use the right-click menu to paste when the gimp text tool is active. If you prever, in tool options for the text tool, select use editor and paste there instead. If you are using a mac, windows, or the android or ipad unofficial gimp ports, please say so, as it's hard to guess your environment and these things work differently on different systems.

Re: [Gimp-user] greek letters
Friends, Even though I intended to reply through this list, I just noticed that I sent my reply to GP to the email list in his post by mistake. In my response to his post, I suggested verifying that the font that he was trying to use for the label was a unicode implementation. On my windows system, the True Type fonts do not have the alpha character he's seeking, because they have no character in slot u03B1, but the Open Type fonts do. . ns ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

I'd be curious whether Gimppimpf is seeing the same thing, with some characters working but not b, c or 8. I also had trouble pasting an alpha: I tried selecting one in a browser, but middleclick paste doesn't work in gimp's new text tool. In Firefox I was able to ctrl-C and then ctrl-V it into gimp, but that wouldn't work everywhere -- not all apps have a way to copy to the clipboard. I filed a bug (730315) on not being able to paste the primary X selection. ...Akkana ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
