file with greek characters in windows 10

[Peter Brawley]

In win 10, Notepad correctly reads and renders a file with a mixture of English & Greek text, but NPP fails to render the Greek no matter what charset it is configured to use.

Example: NPP renders Εκτυπωτικά as little squares, even though when I paste the result here, it’s correc.

How do I get round this?

Sounds like your default font for NPP doesn’t include the characters.

Preferences > Style Configurator > Global Styles > Default Style > Font Style = select a different font.

I use DejaVu Sans Mono (https://github.com/dejavu-fonts/dejavu-fonts), which has a lot of (IMHO) nice-looking Unicode characters. But there are plenty of other choices, as well. (Source Code Pro, EversonMono, and STIX are other font-families I’ve heard of that have monospace versions and good Unicode coverage.)

Thanks so much, I was using BitStream Mono, DejaVu Mono fixed it.
