There are a number of fonts which can be used.  I'll leave it to you to Google 
them:  Cardo, Titus Cyberbit Basic, Gentium, New Athena.  I think these are all 
free.  Did I mention that they're free?  Free, FREE.  I use KadmosU, but I think 
there is a charge for that -- It came with my Logos program as well as 
BibliaLS.  You should already have Tahoma with Windows.  Of course, the font you 
choose depends on your own preferences and cost.  


I use the Logos Greek Keyboard which is rather intuitive and FREE.

Yes, you should definitely use a unicode font.  Don't leave home without it.

Subject: [B-Greek] online Greek texbook and classes - help and advice sought

Next semester I'm due to give an online section of the Beginning Greek course I 
teach.
I've had such problems finding a textbook that is in print and which emphasises 
reading and understanding, but which also includes enough grammar, that I've 
started to write my own.
I have a question which maybe some of you can help with - up until now I've used 
SPIonic as my greek font of choice, but I suppose I should update to a unicode 
polytonic font.
I'd be most grateful for advice as to how to do this, what fonts have a nice 
clear typeface, and how one types both English and Greek with the same keyboard.
Thank you all so much.

I'd also be grateful for advice and feedback on what I've written so far - a 
very tentative beginning of the book is at
