Description kstars 2006-09-12 14:09:44 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

If the user does not have a font that can render Greek letters, KStars should print the word (e.g., "alpha") instead of failing to render the glyph.

Furthermore, the Startup wizard should detect if there is no font for Greek letters, and suggest that the user install a capable font (such a s DejaVu).

(This wish came from a discussion with Bob McCracken...thanks Bob)
