-
- To type modern or ancient Greek properly, you should invest in a Greek
- font that comes with a special keyboard layout that allows you to type
- accents and breathing marks. Two widely-used packages are:
-
- GreekKeys, available from Scholars Press Software, 1-800-437-6692 or
- 1-404-475-9245 (Georgia)
-
- and
-
- SuperGreek, from Linguist's Software. MacConnection carries their stuff
- (1-800-334-444)
-
- I'm not sure of prices, but I think each is <$100. GreekKeys is compatible
- with Sys 7 and 6.0.7 and includes postscript, truetype, and bitmap fonts;
- I don't know about SuperGreek.
