#HOW TO GET GREEK LETTERS ON MAC 2016 FREE#
*Actually BareBones’ cutdown free text editor, TextWrangler, should also work as it has the option to save as UTF-8 BOM. have greek letters in a Matlab figure title or plot label, you must set the 'FontName' for the current axes to 'Symbol'.
Then I can upload back into my UTF-8 MySQL database, if required. Open in BBEdit and change the format to UTF-8 (generally ‘No BOM’). Select “Save as UTF-16 Unicode Text (.txt)” There is no step 3 (as the ad used to say).įor the reverse process I cannot do the normal “Save as tab delimited text” as the Greek letters will be replaced by underscores. Launch Excel 2016 and import the text file (as delimited text - I use the pipes from the MySQL tables as delimiters). Set the BBEdit text document as Unicode (UTF-8, with BOM)† using the selection options at the bottom of the page. Its uppercase form uses the same glyph,, as the distinct Latin letter P the two letters have. Having read the answer from the following allows me to preserve the UTF-8: Axis Labels: Use expression (alpha) to get greek alpha. After making an SQL query I often paste from my Mac terminal into the BBEdit text editor, do some minor clean up, and then import into Excel for distribution and presentation.
I work with a UTF-8 MySQL database which contains one field with UTF-8 text because of Greek symbols. However I am posting it in case anyone else finds it useful or is able to adapt it to their problem. Hence it may not be of general applicability. Search for all Times New Roman fonts on your machine (I had 25 in all kinds of locations) - Eliminate one (put into trash, don't empty) - Open the Word document, see whether it still displays correctly. This is a workaround for my own particular UTF-8 problem, refers to tab-separated values rather than CSV, and also involves proprietary software*. Or, if you have a machine where it still works: - Get the machine where Word displayed the characters correctly.
