Unicode Symbols for Greek Extended

Unicode Symbols for Greek Extended

Hi,

I would need the Unicode Symbols of Greek Extended,

which is not shown in the Symbols, when I open the Musescore package and

want to add greek Symbols.

It is about the old greek Language with all the letters and signs.

How can I get those?

Kind regards

I would probably add the package 'font-sil-gentium' [1] and then
regenerate my font cache with 'fc-cache -f -v'. [2] In most cases, it
should be sufficient to do so as a user rather than on the system
level.

The font designers state that "Gentium is a typeface family designed
to enable ... Latin, Cyrillic, and Greek scripts.... It supports
almost the complete range of Unicode characters." [3]

Please do some research to find the best font for you, though. I am
culturally on the opposite side of the Ancient Greeks and therefore
not a good source for related information.

Kind regards
Felix

Hi,

thanks for help

I installed the fonts 'font-sil-gentium'
updated the cache

but there is no change in the symbols when using the package musescore

I had it already installed earlier, and AFAI remember I also run
  guix system reconfigure...

Kind regards

Gottfried
