Will the Greek font be the same as UBS 4? UBS italic font seems unnecessary and unnecessarily light (could be a little bolder as well). Form identification assistance and on-page lexical help (plus whatever other help items are available) are welcome in my class.

Description:
The Reader's Edition combines the Bible text of the latest edition
of the UBS4 Greek New Testament, edited by Barbara Aland, et. al., with
an Onpage Greek-English Dictionary, compiled by Barclay M. Newman.
Features
* On-page Dictionary providing translations of all vocabulary items
occurring 30 times or less in the New Testament at the bottom of each
page
* Translations given according to context
* Definitions of idiomatic word combinations
* Grammatical analysis of all difficult verb forms
* Reader-friendly layout enabling the reader to transfer easily from
text to dictionary and vice versa
* An appendix providing translations of all vocabulary items
occurring more than 30 times in the New Testament
* Including the maps from the UBS Greek New Testament
So, it appears to be a combination of Zerwick's "A Grammatical Analysis
Greek of the Greek New Testament" ( although a bit abbreviated),
Zondervan's "Reader's Greek New Testament" and the UBS text. I suspect
there will be page proofs at AAR/SBL in November.
I doubt that professors will allow it in class :)
