PTC Mathcad Prime 5.0: Greek symbols in Text Blocks

Hello PTC Community,

While using the new Mathcad Prime, I was unable to insert Greek symbols in text blocks. Is there any way to do that?

 

Thank you.

There are two ways to do this. Pick a font that has Greek letters or embed a math region using Ctrl-m then you can either pick the symbol from the Symbols chart or put in the roman letter equivalent and then use Ctrl-g to convert it into the Greek letter you need.

Certain characters are available in the standard set. Otherwise use a font with Greek characters...

Success!

    Prime is quite limited compared to real Mathcad.
    As a workaround you may insert a math region with the appropriate greek character.
    Or you may startup "charmap.exe" and copy and paste the characters you need.
