Texmaker and TeXstudio ⇒ Writing Greek
Writing Greek
I'm new to TeXmaker and I'm not sure how to write in Greek. When I compile, it shows nothing. I'm using Windows 7, MiKTeX 2.9 and TeXmaker. I also have chosen UTF-8, and neither Arial nor Times New Roman work for me. Any help would be appreciated.

The variable $\alpha$ is the entrainment coefficient, when $\Gamma \ll 1$ the plume is lazy.

I am not sure Arial or Times New Roman even have Greek letters. They're not typically used in LaTeX, anyway.Paul82 wrote:I also have chosen UTF-8, and neither Arial nor Times New Roman work for me. Any help would be appreciated.
