Hi. I am designing a webpage for my fraternity, and I was wondering where I could find graphic files of Greek letters. Any refrences to webpages or software packages would be appreciated. Thank you!

Quick and dirty solution: Fire up Paint, hit the text tool, crank the font size up to 144 or whatever is the biggest it’ll allow, and switch the font to Symbol.

This is assuming a Windows PC; I presume that Macs have something equivalent.

The Mac font with Greek characters is also called Symbol.
