Modern Greek for Windows
Three TrueType® and Type-1 fonts in plain, bold,
italic, and bold-italic styles: Times®-style Olympus
and Olympus II, and Helvetica®-style Philippi, with the modern Greek keyboard layout. The
font arrangement conforms to the Greek Windows code page 1253, allowing the direct
transfer of files to/from Greek Windows users.
The fonts install into Microsoft® Windows XP, 2000, NT, Me, 98, 95, or 3.1x
and work with all Windows XP-, 2000-, NT-, Me-, 98-, 95- and 3.1x-compatible
applications that allow the user to select fonts from a font menu. The
Type 1
fonts require Adobe Type Manager® in Windows Me/98/95/3.1. The product includes
a User's Manual, keyboard layout chart(s), and Character Code Tables showing
every character in the font(s). The included Keyboard Switcher (keyboard driver)
allows access to
four characters per key (instead of the normal two) and alternate keyboard layouts.
The fonts alone (without Keyboard Switcher) will install into Linux,
but Linux users must provide alternate keyboard input for characters in the
extended character set. These fonts will print to any printer at
the highest quality allowed by your printer.
Cost: US$ 99.95, or $50 as an enhancement to LaserGreek
or LaserGreek II, or $50 when purchased together with Modern Greek II, as Modern Greek Professional. Order
(Note: When shipped by DHL Express International, Modern Greek Professional
for Windows requires 2 shipping units.)
