Opps I meant:

Don't do that. Don't force the font to be Arial only.

Do that. Use UTF-8.

Run in a terminal:

setxkbmap -option grp:rwin_switch,grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll\
 us,el

Press Alt+shift to switch to Greek keyboard and the clikc Alt+shift to
go back to us.

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:

End of Session ?t
End of Session ?t
End of Session ?t
End of Session ?t

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
s in the live display.  It's just not setting the font.  If I give an
invalid attribute name (e.g. ...) 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.

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.

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 "Δ".  It
still displayed the boxed Unicode value.

Thx,
