I check the web site, and the fonts look fine there, too, except that the
final sigma comes out wrong in my web browser. If I copy the text back into
my word processor, it looks fine. Ain't technology wonderful?
There should be no problem copying fonts into word processors this way.
Using the <font> tags ensures that we always know the name of the font, too.
But there are enough different encoding schemes out there that I'm afraid of
the free-for-all that would result if we all started posting in our own
fonts, complete with accents and everything.
I think the best approach is to agree on a font which is available for both
Windows and Mac, and which is freely available. So far, I know about two
fonts that fit the bill:
SGreek Fixed, available from http://www.silvermnt.com
SPIonic, available from ftp://scholar.cc.emory.edu/pub/fonts/
There is a *much* better font that hasn't yet been released which should be
coming down the pike very soon.
I have several fonts named "Greek" (of course, only one can install at a
time). Where did your Greek font come from? Is it commercial?
