Greek fonts

For those of you struggling with Greek fonts, and the various diacritical marks, in Microsoft Word), here are some suggestions that may help you. I usually do not have these problems myself, as I use NotaBene), but those using Word more regularly may know the problem:

1. Go to this webpage: http://titus.fkidg1.uni-frankfurt.de/unicode/tituut.asp and download the Titus font. Further descriptions are given on the page on how to download and install the font.

2. Then go to this page: http://titus.fkidg1.uni-frankfurt.de/unicode/tituutk.asp and download the UniqTitus (Unicode keyboard entry tool for MS-Word). You will find further information onn how to download and innstall this item in Word on the webpage and / or in the files downloaded (on installing). Read carefully.

Having done this, you will have access to a lot of diacritics and additional characters for both Roman letters, Greek and Coptic. Have a look at the webpages, and give it a try. I did, and it worked very well.

Then I return to NotaBene, my favorite wordprocessor!
