Using the greek language in the text and strings.

[Seiryuu90]

I am trying to make just a program in greek. When I use "Arial greek" to write some text (not labels), first it is ok then it gets to chinese.
I also tried strings and it still converts to little cubes or some gibberish.
I don't want  to use the symbol font because it looks terrible and also can't function because it doesn't allow punctuations commonly used in greek language. And even when I used it at a string, it still presents some gibberish.
Any love for our greeks?

Is that true for String indicators? If not you can make a message box set to Arial greek instead of the built in one-button dialog.

Yes, the default dialog just seems a string of bytes. It is up to the indicator to determine the cosmetics and you have no control over the built-in dialogs. It would be trivial to make your own dialog (subVI set to dialog), of course, as already suggested.

If you want all Greek all the time, maybe you could change some of the default fonts to a Greek font in the ini file. (see also)

I tried "Arial greek" as the default font and it didn't work. What else font to try?

edit: also a bonus question irrelevant to this: how to enter superscripts and subscripts in label text? Is it possible?

As far as I know. superscript & subscript attributes aren't supported at all in LV.

There are four default font types. Which one did you change?

Sub- and superscript are not supported. Exceptions are e.g. powers of 2, because that is a unique character in most fonts. For free labels, you can approximate a subscript by using a much smaller font.
