hi there,

I was wondering if there was a special trick (or possibly package) in order to get bold greek letters,

i've tried using

\textbf{\omega}

but that doesn't seem to work...

any thoughts?

cheers, Tim

Since greek letters are mathematical symbols, your approach can't work. Try it with the help of amsmath.

$\boldsymbol{\omega}$

In this way you can get whole expressions bold faced.

Best regards
