Thanks to all who've contributed info, e.g. Stephen and Maurice.

I downloaded SFgreek, unzipped, and ttconverted it to use on my Mac.
The Perseus text contained undefined characters (rectangle).
It may have to do with Perseus reading me as a Mac and me using
a Windows font. Or, my conversion program might be messing it up.

I already have a zillion Greek fonts on my system, each for a special
purpose: OLBgreek for the Online Bible, others for various Greek tutor
packages, The Linguist Software fonts I use in my documents. What a
bloody mess!

I can't believe there isn't a standard for language fonts. I wonder if
there is some sort of remapping software to change the correspondence
of the ASCII codes so that you can use any font with any software.

I will probably end up springing for the SMK commercial font.

Thanks again,

Will
