I'm running an OS version behind you, Leopard (10.5) vs. your Snow
Leopard (10.6), so there may be some minor differences, but this
should work.
The text downloads as a .zip file. Find it - and it'll probably be
either in your Downloads folder or Desktop - and double-click on it
and it should decompress into a folder with files for each book's text
and each books apparatus.
OS X by default opens .txt files in TextEdit, which doesn't seem to
know what encoding to use. With the document *not* already open in
TextEdit, open TextEdit, go to TextEdit->Preferences..., click on the
Open and Save tab, and in the Plain Text File Encoding section, change
Opening Files from Automatic to Unicode (UTF-8). Close the window by
clicking on the red dot - there's no Okay button, oddly enough, just a
Restore All Defaults option - and double click on your choice of a
file to start with and it should open as respectable Unicode Greek.
The process is probably pretty much the same for any full-on word
processor, but feel free to let me know off-list if you'd like help
with one of those. (Out of curiosity, I uploaded Matthew to Google
Docs and it did not work. It might work better with one of the
alternative on-line word processors - Acrobat.com or Zoho.com - or
there may be a way to enforce an encoding on Google Docs, but since
you probably use MS Word or OpenOffice.org or Pages or the like I
won't bother checking.)
Best,
John
