I am looking for a good Greek font for the MacIntosh computer. I want to write in greek, not just do mathematical equations! Any pointers or helpful hints would be greatly appreciated.... -- dan farmer (ajm@mace.cc.purdue.edu)

Any pointers or >helpful hints would be greatly appreciated.... > >dan farmer >(ajm@mace.cc.purdue.edu) I do this regularly on the mac using the regular "Symbol" font. All the characters are there, including the terminating sigma and the cursive forms of phi and theta. There is one big problem, though. I have not been able to add accents to the text. For better or for worse, I ignore this problem and then either add the accents by hand or just ignore it. (I use this to write to my parents back home. I imagine if you want to use it to cite examples in ancient greek then you're in trouble.) I hope this was of some help. Byron Rakitzis.
