The unicode character there is a lower case greek epsilon. When I print

epsilon) doesn't even come out.
When I do the same from a win32 build, the printed character looks
pretty good as do upper and lower case delta and rho.
Is there a better way to use greek letters for variables or mathematical
symbols? Is there a more standard (portable across all expected
platforms) way I should get a font?
Hi Dan,
What you do is correct. It's just that your Linux system doesn't seem to have
good fonts covering the Greek letters. If the bitmap doesn't come out, well,
that's a bug.
Anyway, try installing the DejaVu fonts.
