How do I access the greek symbols

[James Bechdel]

How do I access the greek symbols in the fonts on  Illustrator CS4?

Thanks

Type>Glyphs should be what you are looking for (provided the font has the required glyphs). Make an insertion point in the document and the double-click on the desired glyph.

I found the greek symbols by using the font named "Symbol" which was installed by default in Illustrator CS6. That one is recommended as you then can write in greek directly by typing, instead of scrolling through a list of symbols in Glyphs and using a mouse. 

This makes it easier to write math in Illustrator.
