Subject: LL-LINGUISTICS Useful Fonts Download

Fonts of several types are available free of charge from....

http://titus.fkidg1.uni-frankfurt.de/unicode/tituut.asp

This is a Unicode font for linguists, it includes not only Greek but Coptic,
Devanagri, Runic (Ogham and another)), Ethiopian, Arabic, Cyrillic, and so
on. It also has a robust set of diacriticals for transcribing Eastern
European, Near and Middle Eastern languages. The Greek seems a robust
character set, the Devanagri does not have all the sandhi combinations
(which in itself is rather large and complex). Only the Latin fonts can be
input using Alt-ASCII numbers. The rest are click and paste using Windows
Character Map utility (very slow and labor intensive),
The best part of it is that it is free (some registration required). I think
most here will get some good use out of it. I think there is a MAC version
at the web site.
