Getting symbol fonts in Processing
Jan 21st, 2010, 12:40pm  
I have an app in which I would like various Greek symbols.  Has anyone been successful with getting a symbol font to load?  So far, I've been unsuccessful with trying to create a font (with symbols) via Processing's menu item and also with trying to load the actual Symbol or OpenSymbol fonts through the "createFont" mechanism.

Any thoughts on using the symbol font with Processing?  In particular, is there something about that font that's problematic?  

Many thanks.
Pete

Code:
  PFont f = createFont("Arial", 48);
  textFont(f);
  text("\u03A6\u03A9\u03A8\u0398", 20, 50);

shows some Greek characters on my system.
