Thanks Simon, that works. With some limitations.

For example, π and φ or even φπ are accepted as variable names, but not something like ₢ for example. I guess only Latin 1 characters are allowed.

I'm on Linux and have custom .XCompose key combinations to type such things easily, but they don't work in GPS. Curiously, combinations defined in the default XCompose file *do* work, like degree sign °. Don't know if this is some GTK/KDE thing again, but as you see they work fine in Firefox which is also GTK.

Thanks for sorting it out for me :-)

Cheers, Ian
