<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">This is a Unicode font for linguists, it includes not only Greek but Coptic,</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Devanagri, Runic (Ogham and another)), Ethiopian, Arabic, Cyrillic, and so</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">on. It also has a robust set of diacriticals for transcribing Eastern</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">European, Near and Middle Eastern languages. The Greek seems a robust</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">character set, the Devanagri does not have all the sandhi combinations</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">(which in itself is rather large and complex). Only the Latin fonts can be</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">input using Alt-ASCII numbers. The rest are click and paste using Windows</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Character Map utility (very slow and labor intensive), </span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The best part of it is that it is free (some registration required).

<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">most here will get some good use out of it.
