| 467261 | 2006-06-29 11:18:00 | Note that the symbol set displayed in both Insert Symbol and Character Map vary a bit according to which font you select in Insert Symbol and Character Map themselves. Character Map displays symbol sets for slightly more fonts than Insert Symbol. I think some Greek letters are also available in the ANSI character set, which are inserted by holding down the Alt key and entering 0nnn via the keypad (with Numlock on). The 0 is is a required prefix in Windows and nnn is the ANSI code for the required character. This method is usually quicker than calling up Insert Symbol or Character Map. |
