From help-request at octave dot org Fri Dec 31 11:08:33 2004 Subject: Symbols, mathematical symbols, and Greek letters From: "Henry F. Mollet" To: Octave_post Date: Fri, 31 Dec 2004 09:12:12 -0800 How can I use symbols, mathematical symbols, and Greek letters in Octave/Gnuplot/AquaTerm and then print on Laser Printer *without* resorting to special software. According to HTML 4, symbols, mathematical symbols, and Greek letters may be represented by glyphs (whatever that is) in the Adobe font "Symbol". E.g. " α " for Greek letter alpha. Or perhaps one could use Unicode, e.g. Greek letter alpha is Unicode 61537. At least I understand that the following will not work: gset label 1 "α" at 0.4, 1.3 gset label 2 "Unicode 61537" at 0.4, 1.3 Henry ------------------------------------------------------------- Octave is freely available under the terms of the GNU GPL.
