[B-Greek] Greek typing question

While the browser might make a difference (I prefer IE to Firefox on the basis 
of "look and feel"), I doubt that the keyboard has a significant effect.  More 
important would be the font chosen.  All the keyboard does is to select the 
glyph to put in any location.

Hi, Sarah,

I used to have the Logos Greek keyboard on my computer.  I was told at the time, 

and noticed myself, that on certain sites the diacritics would not show up 
properly.  When my computer crashed, I decided to take the opportunity to try 
the Windows Polytonic Keyboard instead.  I would say that over all the 
diacritics show up better with Windows, although one still has small problems on 

various sites.  I also think that Greek works better on Firefox than Internet 
Explorer.  But this may depend on one's computer and other factors, as different 

people have different experiences and preferences.

I should also say that having used both Logos and Windows for extended periods 
of time, there is no question in my mind that Logos is easier for typing the 
accents, so I'm not prepared to recommend that you change.

Has anyone had difficulty with Greek characters not showing up correctly using 
Logos biblical Greek keyboard? I have set up several systems with this, making 
sure that Unicode fonts are installed, etc. Once in a while I get a computer 
that will not give me diacritics, gives me capital letters in Word when the caps 

lock is not on, etc. In the past, I have fixed this by checking the version of 
Uniscribe; but Windows 7 doesn't like to let you fix this file. I am now 
stumped. It is definitely the keyboard, as Greek from other sources displays 
with no problem. I will try calling Logos on Monday but don't anticipate much 
help so thought I would check here in case anyone had any ideas.
