I. THE "ATHENIAN" FONT FOR DISPLAYING ANCIENT GREEK TEXTS
TrueType "Athenian" is part of GreekKeys, the Macintosh/Windows font + keyboard package designed by George B. Walsh and Jeffrey Rusten, and owned by the American Philological Association. The font contains all common ancient Greek (polytonic) accents and symbols; it is to be used on Macintosh and Windows (3.1 or 95) for READING Classical Greek with Perseus (on the Web page or the CD version) and in other publicly available ancient Greek texts.
The classical Greek font "Athenian" is copyrighted by the American Philological Association; it may be freely distributed to facilitate the distribution of ancient Greek texts on the World Wide Web and other platforms, provided it is not offered for sale and is accompanied by the "ReadMeGK" instructions file.
II. HOW TO PURCHASE THE GREEKKEYS KEYBOARD UTILITY AND ADDITIONAL FONTS
The "Athenian" font will allow the display of polytonic-accented characters that have already been entered, but IN ORDER TO TYPE ACCENTED CHARACTERS, THE GREEKKEYS KEYBOARD UTILITY MUST BE PURCHASED. This utility enables convenient typing of all common Greek accent-combinations, as well as additional TrueType and Postscript fonts in Greek, with metrical and epigraphic symbols, macrons for typing Latin text, and a 50-page instruction manual.
