GREEK OLD FACE AND GREEK OLD FACE C FONTS

THIS FONT IS SHAREWARE

By all means pass the font on to other people but, if you do, please give
them the original zip file which includes this note.

Fonts take a lot of work to design, and I would be touchingly grateful if
you could see your way to paying a small fee for them. If you use them,
please send a cheque for $20 or 12 to me:

R.P. Hancock
17 Queen's Gate Place 
London SW7 5NY
England
 
You can mail me a cheque in US dollars on a US bank, or in sterling on a UK
bank. The cost to me of processing any other cheque is very high, so if you
can't manage dollars or sterling, I would much prefer you to send banknotes
to the approximate value of $20. Please don't bother to register the letter.

Or you can make a direct cash transfer to my bank -- here are the details.
Please also tell me when you have made the transfer.

CHARACTER SET

These fonts have the character set of the Greek font supplied with the
WinGreek package for Windows, with the additions listed below.

Greek Old Face, for the Anglophone market, has:
c-shaped epsilon
closed theta
straight kappa
straight rho
tall phi

Greek Old Face C, for the Continental market, has:
8-shaped epsilon
open theta
x-shaped kappa
curly rho
low-topped phi

In this list, the symbols on numbers 1 to 29 exist only in the Type 1 version of the font. 'Other' means that the Anglophone font has the Continental symbol here, and vice versa.

1 C-shaped capital Sigma
2 other epsilon
3 other theta
4 other kappa
5 other rho
6 other phi
7 modern Greek left double quote
8-9 [unprintable in Windows]
10 half space
11-14 [unprintable]
15 other epsilon asper
16 other epsilon lenis
17 other epsilon acute
18 other epsilon asper acute
19 other epsilon lenis acute
20 other epsilon grave
21 other epsilon asper grave
22 other epsilon lenis grave
23 other epsilon circumflex [included for compatibility with WinGreek]

25 other rho lenis
26 breve
27 macron
28 left single quote
29 right single quote
30-31 [unprintable]
32-126 [as WinGreek, but the useless <> signs have been styled as corner
    brackets]
127 [unprintable]
128 left double quote
129 right double quote
130 exclamation mark
131-251 [as WinGreek, but the unprintable character 160 is blank; see 254]
252 epsilon circumflex [added to later versions of WinGreek - why?]
253 omicron circumflex [ditto]
254 diaeresis grave [some versions of the WinGreek font had this on 160,
    which is unprintable]
255 low prime [for numerals]


KERNING

Kerning: all unaccented lower case letters are kerned relative to each other,
so that numerals can be printed properly. Otherwise, only pairs that actually
occur in classical Greek are kerned. Winword 6 and 7 cannot use kerning in
TrueType fonts that do not have standard encoding - as the Greek fonts do
not. WinWord 7 can't use kerning in Type 1 fonts at all. These are WinWord
bugs and can't be cured. The fonts are designed to look OK without kerning, 
though obviously kerning improves letter spacing.


ALTERNATIVE VERSIONS

Registered users of Greek Old Face can have Greek Old Face C free, and 
vice versa. They can also have the Type 1 version of either or both fonts.
Please email me at the address below.

Please also get in touch if you want a different version of the font. I will
recode it, free, to any coding you like - as long as you tell me EXACTLY what
character set you want. Mac versions can also be done, but some discussion
will be necessary about the character set. I have a full set of roman letters
to match the Greek ones.
