- Someone who responded by e-mail to this posting mentioned that
- classical (ancient) Greek (which is what I am working on) may have
- different accent and breathing marks than modern Greek. Can anyone
- tell me:
-
- (a) Is it true that modern Greek is substantially different in terms
- of typography than classical Greek?
-
- (b) Will the Greek system software (keyboard, script, and fonts)
- suffice to type things in classical Greek?
-
- Thanks to everyone who helped me with other suggestions. I am using
- GreekKeys for now, since it was readily available, but if the Greek
- system software will work, it should be a little more seamless than
- GreekKeys.
