Re: Greek Characters in Dia for Windows

["Michael Ross" <michael e ross gmail com>]

Looks good.  However, I have no idea how to do it.  Undocumented and all that, have no idea what unicode means.  Can you post that image as a Dia file so I can look at it?

Σηατ υοθ ςα... What you want is a font that contains the Greek symbols
as well as the Latin-1 ones, as good Unicode fonts do.  I think Ariel
was made to be as covering as possible.  You'll then also need some way
to insert the right characters, in Linux I can just set the keyboard
layout to be Greek, and it works (as attached image shows).  Nothing
needs to be done by Dia.
