You will need the Symbol TrueType font installed on your computer (most Windows installations will have it). Use the guide below to select the Greek letters:

A, a (Alpha) = A
B, b (Beta) = B
G, g (Gamma) = G
D, d (Delta) = D
E, e (Epsilon) = E
Z, z (Zeta) = Z
H, h (Eta) = H
Q, q (Theta) = Q
I, i (Iota) = I
K, k (Kappa) = K
L, l (Lambda) = L
M, m (Mu) = M
N, n (Nu) = N
X, x (Xi) = X
O, o (Omicron) = O
P, p (Pi) = P
R, r (Rho) = R
S, s (Sigma) = S
T, t (Tau) = T
U, u (Upsilon) = U
F, f (Phi) = F
C, c (Chi) = C
Y, y (Psi) = Y
W, w (Omega) = W
V (Sigma – used only at the end of a word) = V


You'll need to put your code in UBB Code like so (omit the space between the brackets):

[ font=symbol ]ABGDEZHQIKLMNXOPRSTUFCYW[ /font ]

This should appear like this:

ABGDEZHQIKLMNXOPRSTUFCYW

Hope this helps.


P.S. Dammit, John, we need this as a FAQ topic!!!! This has been 'Murrayed' several times on GC.

FYI, 6 is an awfully large font...

...some would say too large.

Strawberrysismd,

The colours for Zeta Tau Apha Fraternity are Turqouise Blue and Steel Gray. For Turquoise Blue to be represented on GreekChat you would use "sky blue" and for Steel Gray I would think "silver" would be closest. Now, onto the signature... I added the ZTA motto "Seek The Noblest" (from their website) to my example, too.

Example:
[COLOR=sky blue]Z [/color] T[COLOR=sky blue] A[/color]
[COLOR=sky blue]Seek The Noblest [/color]


How to reproduce example: It's done by using the codes, e.g to make text bold you put [ b ] before it. And [ / b ] after it. Except without those spaces in between the brackets [] and the letters inside. In other words [codeletter] not [ codeletter ].
I can't give you the exact code to reproduce the example allowing you to just copy and paste that code, because if I use the codes, it'll actually make whatever I type bold or in color, or a particular size etc so when you copy it only the actual text not its attributes (color, size etc) will be stored for you to paste in to the signature section.

Strawberrysismd, the next best thing I can do is put all the code you need with a slight change for you to do. What I'll do is paste all the code and put spaces in all of the brackets so it allows you to see what the code IS without making the code itself invisible. Then, when you copy and paste it for your signature, simply remove those spaces between all those brackets to "activate" the code and you'll be good to go. Obviously the example I used above is just an example, so you can change it (change colors/remove the quote, whatever) if it's unsuitable.

Code - WITH SPACES TO REMOVE - to put in signature so you can reproduce example:

[ size=5 ] [ b ] [ COLOR=sky blue ]Z [ /color ] [ COLOR=silver ]T[ /color ][ COLOR=sky blue ] A[ /color ] [ /size ]
[ size=3 ] [ i ] [ FONT=times new roman ] [ COLOR=sky blue ]Seek The Noblest[ /size ] [ /i ] [ /FONT ] [ /color ] [ /b ]

And where do you PUT all that code? Well, up at the top you have the button for the "user cp", you enter it in the 'Edit Profile' section of that user control panel. Paste it into the Signature section of your profile, spend a few moments removing the spaces between the brackets so they read [codeinhere] and [/othercodeinhere] not [ codeinhere ] and [ /othercodeinhere ] and that, Strawberrysismd, will be it.

N.B "sky blue" and "times new roman" are meant to have spaces between each of the the words themselves but not after the last word or before the first one, for it to work. Hope that makes sense. In other words with spaces removed in the signature section of the profile section, you're looking for sky blue and times new roman not skyblue and timesnewroman. Lastly, any other spaces not *inside* the brackets are there for a reason, otherwise you'd have SeekTheNoblest not Seek The Noblest. Just remove all spaces inside the brackets except between the words "sky" and "blue" and "times" and "new" and "roman" and you'll be fine.

Honestly, it's not so complicated as it sounds, I just have a tendency to ramble! Let me know if you have anymore questions.

decadence.

You can manually type in turquoise as I have done in my signature. This gives a closer to match to Zeta's actual colors. The next best color to use would probably be teal. You can use silver or you can manually type in gray like I've done.
