For scientific notation, I need to display Greek text characters in Rev fields in Linux using a font in a standard Linux distribution. On Win and Mac, one simply uses Symbol font in a Rev field. This doesn't display properly in Rev under Linux (Redhat Core distribution). The Rev docs suggest this involves using UTF-16 unicode font. The standard fonts on Linux appear to be UTF-8 and my experiments have been unsuccessful.
I have only a couple off-the-cuff remarks from a non-linux guy that might tide you over until you get some linux answer.
UTF16 and UTF8 are different representations of the same encoding. That shouldn't affect font use.
I would guess there is a font called Caslon or similar. It should have unicode greek characters.
Try a simple test like this (with or without setting the font):
on mouseUp set the useUnicode to true set the unicodeText of field "field" to numToChar(0x222A) end mouseUp
You should get a union symbol.
