Re: [Gimp-user] [Fwd: How to introduce greek letters]

Hi Sven,
This is much more complicated than it used to be.

How did you use to do it?
Well, there was a "Symbol" font that it used to work just fine. At least 
 when using Gimp 1.x on a RedHat 8.0.


Does anyone know a simpler solution?

gucharmap can install a GTK+ input module which you can then use from
the right-click menu in the GIMP text editor.
Thank you for this. I will give it a try.
Cheers,
Miguel

 Just do the steps 4 through 6. You write in english and in the image
you see it in greek (it is a little bit weird, but you won't write
your entire life story this way...).
No, it also appears in latin letters in the image.
An alternative would be to select a real greek font and turn the
keyboard layout to "el".
Yes, this should work, but it's not trivial if you have labels in plain 
English and labels with greek or whatever symbol.

Thank you for your help.
Cheers,
Miguel
