In the first place, go to Jonathan Robie's web site entitled something like
"The Little Greek's Guide to Greek Fonts":
http://www.mindspring.com/~jwrobie/greek/fonts.html
Jonathan lists fonts available and where and then shows how they look and
even adds something about the encoding and how it affects they way they'll
look on a web site. He doesn't tell you how to install them and use them,
but that will differ depending on the operating system you use. For a
Macintosh, at least, that's very simple: simply drag the font suitcase into
your Fonts folder within the System folder; once it's in, you can see the
keyboard layout by using the KeyCaps program in your Apple Menu. Presumably
it's not much more complicated than that to install and use the font in
Windows, and somebody else can explain that.
Good luck.
