Polytonic Greek Fonts (Unicode)

Arial Unicode MS and Tahoma are included with most modern versions of Microsoft Office but they are sans-serif and more functional than stylish. Be warned that if you are using at least Windows 2000 or OSX on your computer, you should be using Unicode fonts and the appropriate input methods.

• Gentium
• Galatia SIL Greek Unicode Fonts
