[pygtk] Greek letter delta using Pango markup?
How (if at all) do I display a Greek capital letter delta in a label using Pango markup (or any other means)? This is via Glade v.2. I'm using a US keyboard. I'm pretty sure I can figure out how to do it from Python code, but since it's a static label I see no reason to pollute my application with such stuff.

Re: [pygtk] Greek letter delta using Pango markup?
Brian From a gnome desktop, Acessories=Charachter Map, select greek, Brian then drag and drop the character into the label field of the Brian widget propeties dialog. That worked, sort of. I can drag and drop the character into the label, however all it displays (in both Glade and the application) is a box with the Unicode code point for the character: 0 3 9 4 arranged as shown. This is true even if I run Glade with LC_CTYPE set to utf8. I also tried entering the decimal entity reference #916;. It still displayed the boxed Unicode value.

That means the character is not present in the font being used. Try a different font. Try the font you want in the Character Map.

Tony Try a different font. Try the font you want in the Character Map. I'm sorry to be so dense, but nothing I've tried so far seems to work. I set Use Markup to Yes and tried a number of different Pango markup incantations: span face=ArialEnd of Session ?t/span span font_family=ArialEnd of Session ?t/span span font_desc=ArialEnd of Session ?t/span span font_family=sansEnd of Session ?t/span I chose Arial because that's what displayed in Character Map when I right-moused over the character of interest. None of the variants I tried resulted in a Greek Capital Letter Delta. I tried sans when none of the Arial attempts worked. The markup seems to be working. I don't see any tags in the live display. It's just not setting the font. If I give an invalid attribute name (e.g. span font=sans...) the invalid Pango markup is displayed. I saw no other way to describe font information to Glade. I was working from this documentation of the Pango Markup Language: http://www.moeraki.com/pygtkreference/pygtk2reference/pango-markup-language.html though the reference page at http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/pango/PangoMarkupFormat.html seems to document the same attributes.
