Re: Installing Greek fonts

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



You will only get Greek script if you are typing in the Greek language. In
order to do that you must install Greek in Windows regional settings and
actually apply it. If English is the language at the cursor, roman script is
what you will get. The current language is indicated by the language toolbar
in the Windows system tray and you toggle through the installed languages
with Left Alt + Shift (or whatever alternative you have set up).

I now find that the Tahoma font supplied with Windows is supposed to
be a Greek font but exactly the same thing applies: if you click on
the font file - it appears to be all in roman.

But this must be a common problem if Windows supplies the font.

Thanks

Have you set theWindows input language to Greek? Windows regional

It may help to add the Greek keyboard to Windows (you can use the
onscreen keyboard from Windows Accessories > Accessibility Options
to display the key mapping.

I have installed a new Greek font from a 3rd party. It shows in
their demo text in Word and in the font list but I can't get it to
type. i.e. if I type in a word document in the new font it just
comes up in roman characters. The convert text dialog box will not
come up either even though I have ticked the Tools/Options/General
-Confirm conversion at Open.

Any suggestions
