That font was the Linguist's Software font called GraecaII--problem was
that for some odd reason the UBS folks set the entire text in the italic
face! The regular Graeca is much more legible and pleasing.
Anyway, today I received a copy of LS's current font brochure and was
interested to note several new font faces with this note:
"GraecaUBS and OdysseaUBS were made to print
the next edition of the UBS Greek NT."
The faces shown are indeed different from the current UBS/4--so it looks
like the next edition will be more legible.
The remaining question (at least one of them!) is, when is UBS/5 due to be
published? Anyone heard anything in that regard?
For any who might be curious:
<http://www.linguistsoftware.com/>
<http://www.linguistsoftware.com/lgk.htm>
<http://www.linguistsoftware.com/lgk2.htm>
Both of the later two pages contain actual font samples in the form of a
(somewhat coarse resolution) graphic--but they are adequate for their
intended purpose.
BTW, if you are just looking for a Greek font but don't need to pay for
these commercial fonts (which aren't cheap!), check Bill Mounce's offering
(it's free): <http://www.ior.com/teknia/fonts/grkfnt.html> The x-heigth on
Bill's font matches Palatino and is larger than Graeca which more closely
matches Times.
