- I fear I must differ with Herb here. The SLS Greek font is an ugly,
- clumsy thing compared to the graceful proportionally-spaced fonts that
- come with Lingua. With the extended font set one gets this very nice
- type face in 8 through 14 point sizes, with true bold and italic I
- believe (although I have not yet tried to use those attributes).
- Altogether a major improvement over SLS, and much easier to use since
- there is no downloading to manage.
