Scientific formulas use a lot of symbols, including greek letters to represent units of measurement. How can I get a greek letter into an english Pages document?
Do you want Greek characters or do you want equations and expressions that include Greek characters? If you want just the occasional Greek character, then you will find them in the Symbol font. You will find many of them in each Latin (used by English) font. These can be accessed from the
Character Palette found in most applications at the
Edit/Special Characters... menu selection. If you want an equation/expression editor, then you should know that Apple endorses
MathType Lite. Download the
MathType equation editor from DesignScience's website.
MathType is the big brother of
Equation Editor, the captive equation/expression editor that DesignScience provides for Microsoft and other developers for inclusion in their document preparation software. In 30 days, the
MathType demo converts to
MathType Lite if you don't pay for it.
You may also consider
LaTeXiT, a TeX-based equation editor that is included with the
MacTeX distribution of TeX.
LaTeXiT requires an installation of
teTeX or
xeTeX. However, this is all free software that costs only the time you need to download and install it.
