Classical and Biblical Greek Fonts with a Modern Greek Layout!

Two professional-quality, hinted, scalable TrueType and Type 1 fonts: SymbolGreekPF and OdysseaF, both in plain, bold, italic, and bold-italic styles. Both these fonts are standard classical Greek typefaces with tilde-style circumflex accents. LaserByzantium includes all 35 accents, breathing marks, iota subscripts, and diereses, which may be typed over any symbol in any combination. It also includes composite combinations of epsilon and iota with accents and breathing marks. The distinctive feature of this product is the keyboard layout. LaserByzantium follows a modern Greek keyboard layout, modified to include easy typing of all accents and breathing marks used in classical and Biblical Greek.

Note: LaserByzantium is a specialized product. It provides classical and Biblical Greek fonts with a modified modern Greek layout. However, the fonts are not ASCII-compatible with the fonts included in LaserGreek for Windows, LaserGreek II for Windows, or Modern Greek for Windows. You should understand the differences between these products before you make a purchase decision.

LaserGreek and LaserGreek II for Windows are designed for classical and Biblical studies. They contain all the overstriking accents and breathing marks found in LaserByzantium, but they also contain text-critical sigla and symbols that are necessary for manuscript studies. These characters are not in LaserByzantium. Furthermore, LaserGreek and LaserGreek II for Windows match the font arrangement of our Greek New Testament and Greek New Testament with Grammatical Tags. LaserByzantium does not.

Modern Greek and Modern Greek II for Windows have a modern Greek layout that matches Greek Windows. The fonts in Modern Greek and Modern Greek II for Windows do not contain all the accents and breathing marks used in classical and Biblical Greek, but do match the font arrangement of Greek Windows (code page 1253), providing compatibility with files typed in Greek Windows. LaserByzantium does not.

LaserByzantium for Windows provides classical and Biblical Greek fonts with a modified modern Greek layout. The fonts are standard classical Greek typefaces with tilde-style circumflex accents. The unique feature of LaserByzantium is it follows a modified modern Greek keyboard layout, modified to include easy typing of all accents and breathing marks used in classical and Biblical Greek. This is for those who wish to type classical and Biblical Greek with a modern Greek keyboard layout.

Users should be sure they do not need the features and product compatibility of LaserGreek, LaserGreek II, or Modern Greek for Windows, but do need the specialized features of LaserByzantium. If you have any questions about this, contact Linguist's Software before purchasing.
