Dear Perry,
Technically speaking the problem you are talking about is a problem of
encoding, not of font.
As we say in computing " To err is human to mess things up completely
takes a computer".

> Why do my Greek and Hebrew fonts keep falling out of my manuscripts?

> I'm using a school computer and school software. Word, MS Office 2003; I'm

> When I open a document that was written on another computer, even though I'm

> computers have XP Pro) and the same fonts, all the Greek and Hebrew
> characters have been replaced by these little empty boxes.

> I'm trying to work with old documents, editing them into a new manuscript,

> Are there Greek fonts that are more stable than SPIonic, which WON'T
