Sure, it&#8217;s easy to type Greek letters on most computers, using the Symbol font or equaivalent &#8212; but getting the diacriticals right, that&#8217;s a real problem. There are rough breathing and smooth breathing marks; and there are oxia (acute), varia (grave), and perispomeni (circumflex) accent marks; and a few other little odds and ends. You can find free ancient Greek fonts (e.g., <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brill.com\/about\/brill-fonts\">Brill ancient Greek font<\/a>), but then you have to change your keyboard settings; not something I want to do when I only need to type in ancient Greek once a year or so.<\/p>\n<p>Then I found this great Web site, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.typegreek.com\">TypeGreek<\/a>. You can learn their simple system for typing accents in about 4 seconds. Then just cut and paste the text into your favorite word processor. And if you can&#8217;t get the font to work in your word processor, or if you want to use it on the Web, do a screenshot and insert the image into the document:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.danielharper.org\/yauu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Screen-Shot-2016-05-08-at-6.14.29-PM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.danielharper.org\/yauu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Screen-Shot-2016-05-08-at-6.14.29-PM.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2016-05-08 at 6.14.29 PM\" width=\"626\" height=\"76\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.danielharper.org\/yauu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Screen-Shot-2016-05-08-at-6.14.29-PM.png 626w, https:\/\/www.danielharper.org\/yauu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Screen-Shot-2016-05-08-at-6.14.29-PM-300x36.png 300w, https:\/\/www.danielharper.org\/yauu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Screen-Shot-2016-05-08-at-6.14.29-PM-624x76.png 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>How easy is that?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every once in a while, I need to type something in ancient Greek.
