[comp.lang.postscript] Greek on the NeXTstation

pyrros@cis.udel.edu (Christos Pyrros) (05/03/91)

I have a NeXTstation 8/105 running 2.0.

I would like to be able to type in Greek in the monotonic (single accent) 
system.  I have both WriteNow and WordPerfect, yet I can't seem to be able
to do this.

According to the key mapping charts in the NeXT User's Reference man and my
trials, the additional of accents is only possible on 'normal' fonts like
Helvetica and Times.  Accents seemingly cannot be added to the Symbol font,
which does contain all the Greek characters.

Apparently, I need an additional font like Symbol but with an accent 
(like the one usually provided on Alt-e or Option-e on Macs). 

?1:  Is there a Greek font available for the NeXT?
?2:  I remember somthing about a convert utility to put Mac fonts on the NeXT.
     If so, what is it called and where can it be found?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.  I will post a summary of replies to the
net.
