My friend shared with me a Google document. This document includes some Greek symbols like tao, lambda, omega, sigma, etc. But I can't see these symbols! I also tried to search symbols by the menu Insert -> Special characters and this is what I see:

G docs symbols

UPDATE: How can I show these symbols?

The question is: why I can't see symbols? and what can I do to see them? – tyranitar Jun 21 '12 at 13:45

insert, special characters, other European scripts, Greek. Choose Greek from the drop-down menu to the right side of the "European Scripts" box. It should show up. If you can see Greek when browsing Wikipedia you should be able to see it in Google Docs.
