To work reliably, AmigaOS would need a font API capable of supporting,
and drawing, Unicode fonts. I tried to strike up a discussion on support
for this on AmigaOS or MorphOS on the ttf.library mailing list but it
devolved into a bunch of "I know better than you" from certain members,
and flamewars from some people who don't appreciate MorphOS.
So.. looks like you're stuffed ;)
But stuff like alpha, beta, and the bullet mark are all in the latin1 codepage,
which is what the Amiga uses, so as long as you're using a decent font (like
a Microsoft TTF font set up as per my tutorial, or one of the very decent
ones that come with the OS) then they should be found without trouble.
Do you happen to know what the numeric value of these three entities
are?
Thanks
