I have attempted to collect together a number of these on-line 
Greek NT texts on a page at:

http://www.ntgateway.com/greek

It includes two new one's, Michael Haggett's "New Testament 
in Greek" and (anon) "The Online Greek Bible".

In my opinion the best on-line Greek text is far and away the 
late Tony Fisher's Greek New Testament
(http://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/~fisher/gnt).  You won't need 
to download any fonts, it is fully searchable and easy to use, 
browse etc.  The text approximates to Nestle-Aland 26.

As far as fonts are concerned, I generally recommend SPIonic 
because it's free and user-friendly, though not all on b-greek 
agree with me.  You can now access it along with SPTiberian 
(Hebrew) and straightforward instructions + added functionality 
in the "Tyndale Font Kit", for details of which see 
http://www.ntgateway.com/greek/fonts.htm.  

I have in the pipeline a fresh page on my All-in-One Biblical 
Resources Search which will gather together some of the best 
of these searchable Greek NTs + other useful internet Greek 
resources. For the time being you can access some of them 
on the "Bible Versions and Translations" Page 
(http://www.ntgateway.com/multibib.htm).
