Insert Phi

Solved!

Hello,

 

I am having a hard time inserting the Greek letter phi (Φ) into LabVIEW 

 

I have tried changeing fonts, typing Alt+232, and cutting and pasting from word.

I am using LabVIEW 8.6.1 in Windows XP

 

Thanks

 

Dan

Which font are you using?

 

In Arial, code 232 is a small e with a backwards accents.  The small phi is unicode U+03C6.

I am using XP. Phi is p in font symbol ->p


Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted
(Sorry no Labview "brag list" so far)

p is spelled 'pi'

'phi' is written as f

I have tried unicode and I need to mix Latin and Greek letters.  I am trying to insert this in a column header to represent Phase.

I guess I'm not understanding the problem here. Just type f in the column header, select the text, and then use the font menu to change the font to Symbol.

I need to add additional text i.e.

 

Φ Short

 

Column headers only support 1 kind of font not mixed fonts

 

I also need to change the font size.  When I do that I get the weird character shown

That's true. OK. Then, I suggest you cheat. Smiley Wink Place some spaces before the word "Short" and then place a free label that's the phi character over the spaces. Not clean, but it works.
