Unicode Fonts
This page contains a list of Unicode fonts and links to information about these fonts and how to download them. It is also meant to show you how various characters will appear if you have the Greek font properly installed in your system.
As of this writing, the following Unicode fonts support polytonic Greek:

Display
To guarantee optimal display, we use the precomposed Unicode polytonic combinations, where available (Normalization Form C), rather than combining diacritics (Normalization Form D). For example, A)/ is displayed as the single character ? (ἄ), not the combined characters ? (ἄ). The two Unicode strings are definitionally entirely equivalent, and it is the Operating System's job to render the latter as the former. The World Wide Web Consortium recommends the use of Normalization Form C for World Wide Web documents.
Test characters
The repertoire of characters required to support TLG text display is still inconsistent from platform to platform and from font to font. In the following, we have listed likely problem characters, and their absence in the fonts we have had access to (Aisa, Alexander, Alkaios, Alphabetum, Antioch, Arial, Aristarcoj, Athena Unicode, Cardo, Caslon, CERG, Code 2000, Chrysanthi Unicode, Computer Modern, DejaVu, Everson Mono Unicode, FreeMono, FreeSerif, Galatia SIL, Galilee Unicode Gk, Gandhari, Gentium, Greek Font Society fonts, IFAOGrec, jGaramond, Junicode, KadmosU, Kerkis, LeedsUni, Linux Libertine, Lucida Grande, Magenta, MgOpen Canonica, Monospace, New Athena Unicode, Old Standard, Palatino, Porson, SBL Greek, Silver Humana, Tahoma, Tempora, Times, Thryomanes, TITUS Cyberbit). As will be noted, different fonts have different coverage, and users will have to compromise between aesthetics and coverage in picking their font. (The two do not inherently go together!)
As a general comment, proper display of TLG texts requires characters not only from the Latin-1, Latin Extended-A, Greek, and Greek Extended character sets, but also punctuation and editorial signs to be found in the General Punctuation, Arrows, Mathematical Operators, Miscellaneous Technical, Miscellaneous Symbols, and CJK Symbols and Punctuation sets. (The latter, though nominally Chinese punctuation, includes the double square brackets [4, ]4 (deletion brackets), which occur around 5000 times in the corpus.) Character sets and browsers may have difficulty finding many of these characters; however, the problem is not Unicode's in such instances, and it would be improper to devise workarounds (such as, for example, displaying double brackets as [[ ]]) while work is continuing on fully implementing Unicode standards. The TLG search engine also cannot take account of erroneously rendered glyphs such as Palatino's U+1FEC (Capital Rho with rough breathing, rendered as having a smooth breathing.)
Note also that some systems (notably MacOSX) are quite good at retrieving symbols from different fonts if the current selected font does not have the required character.
Because the recent additions to Unicode are incorporated in very few fonts, we have divided our listing into pre-Unicode 4.0 and Unicode 4 onwards.
Pre-Unicode 4.0
| Name | Symbol | UTF-16 Code | Absent in | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lowercase Digamma | ϝ | U+03DD |
Arial, Chrysanthi, FreeMono, FreeSerif, Galilee Unicode Gk, Greek Font Society, jGaramond, Gentium, Junicode, Palatino, Porson, Silver Humana, Tahoma, Thryomanes, Times | |
| Capital Digamma | Ϝ | U+03DC |
Alkaios, Chrysanthi, FreeSerif, Galilee Unicode Gk, jGaramond, Gentium, Junicode, Porson, Silver Humana, Tahoma, Thryomanes, Times | The distinction between capital and lowercase digamma was introduced in Unicode 3.0. |
| Lunate Sigma | ϲ | U+03F2 |
Aisa, Alkaios, Computer Modern, Chrysanthi, FreeMono, FreeSerif, Gentium, Greek Font Society, jGaramond, Junicode, Kerkis, Magenta, MgOpen Canonica, Palatino, Porson, Silver Humana, Tahoma, Thryomanes | |
| Capital Lunate Sigma | Ϲ | U+03F9 |
Aisa, Antioch, Arial, Athena Unicode, Caslon, CERG, Chrysanthi, Computer Modern, FreeMono, FreeSerif, Galatia SIL, Gentium, Greek Font Society, jGaramond, Junicode, Kerkis, Magenta, MgOpen Canonica, Monospace, Palatino, Porson, Silver Humana, Tahoma, Thryomanes, Times | Unicode 3.2 did not differentiate between capital and lowercase lunate sigma. (The distinction made in Antioch and Athena Unicode is not part of Unicode, and will not transfer to other fonts: U+03F4 has already been allocated as GREEK CAPITAL THETA SYMBOL.) The TLG-proposed capital lunate sigma has been included in Unicode 4.0. |
| Keraia | ʹ | U+0374 |
Aisa, Alkaios FreeMono, Porson, Silver Humana, Tahoma | |
| 'Lightning-bolt' koppa | Ϟ | U+03DE |
Alkaios, Chrysanthi, Computer Modern, FreeMono, FreeSerif, Gentium, jGaramond, Junicode, Porson, Silver Humana, Tahoma, Thryomanes, Times | Vusilius Old Face, Aisa, Arial, Greek Font Society all render the 'lightning-bolt' koppa as a Q-like koppa. Vusilius, Palatino, Alphabetum, LeedsUni, SBL Greek, Athena & New Athena and IFAOGrec render the 'lightning-bolt' koppa in a more rounded fashion than might perhaps be familiar to Greeks from contemporary usage --- particularly in capital form. Aristarcoj, Galilee Unicode and SIL Galatia, on the other hand, follow the modern angular shape. |
| Q-like Koppa | Ϙ | U+03D8 |
Aisa, Arial, Caslon, Chrysanthi, FreeMono, FreeSerif, Galatia SIL, Gentium, Greek Font Society, jGaramond, Junicode, Kerkis, Linux Libertine, Magenta, Monospace, Palatino, Porson, Silver Humana, Tahoma, Thryomanes, Times, Vusilius Old Face (but not Vusilius) | Unicode (as of version 3.2, early 2002) differentiates between this koppa (epigraphical) and the numerical koppa; this does not affect the TLG data bank, since the Beta Code distinction between the two koppas is no longer observed. |
| Stigma | Ϛ | U+03DA |
Alkaios, Chrysanthi, FreeSerif, Gentium, jGaramond, Porson, Silver Humana, Tahoma, Thryomanes, Times | Unicode 3.0 distinguishes between capital and small case numerical symbols. (The small case variants of stigma, koppa and sampi are ϛ, ϟ, and ϡ.) Beta code does not preserve numerical symbol case. Currently these are rendered as capitals; in the near future (once the Unicode 3.0 symbols are more widely implemented), case will be recovered contextually. Case in numerals is currently distinguished in Aisa (but not for sampi), Alexander, Alphabetum, Antioch, Aristarcoj, Athena and New Athena Unicode (but not in Athena for Q-like Koppa), Cardo, Code 2000, FreeMono (only for stigma), Galilee Unicode Gk (only for sampi and koppas), Galatia SIL (not for Q-like Koppa), IFOAGrec, Kerkis, Lucida Grande, Old Standard, SBL Greek, Tempora, TITUS Cyberbit. |

jGaramond, Thryomanes | |
| Omicron with smooth breathing and circumflex | ὀ͂ | U+03BF U+0313
U+0342 |
Aisa, FreeMono, Palatino, Porson, Silver Humana | Displays well in Athena and New Athena Unicode, Alphabetum, Antioch, Everson Mono, FreeSerif, Galatia SIL. Circumflex appears beneath or on top of breathing mark in Arial, Gentium, Code 2000, Lucida Grande and TITUS Cyberbit. Circumflex appears to the side of breathing in Tahoma. Breathing appears to the side of circumflex in Galilee Unicode Gk. Combining diacritics do not exist in Magenta or Aisa; only combining acute, grave, and diaeresis exist in FreeMono. |
| Capital Alpha with iota adscript | ᾼ | U+1FBC |
Galilee Unicode Gk (but the diacritics with capitals and adscripts are present), jGaramond (but FreeSerif has no other diacritics on its capital adscripts), Thryomanes | Note that the Unicode specification specifically talks of adscript (prosgegrammeni) rather than subscript (ypogegrammeni), though the accompanying drawing in the Unicode 2.0 specification showed a subscript; this has been made consistent in Unicode 3.0. The subscript reflects some Modern Greek practice; the adscript reflects usual Western practice. The adscript displays as follows: Subscript: Aisa, Alexander, Arial, Athena, Chrysanthi, Computer Modern, DejaVu, FreeMono, FreeSerif, Greek Font Society, MgOpen Canonica, Old Standard, Segoe, Tempora, Tahoma, TITUS Cyberbit, Vusilius Old Face; Lowercase Adscript: Alkaios, Alphabetum, Aristarcoj, Cardo, CERG, Code 2000, Galatia SIL, Galilee Unicode, Gandhari, Gentium, Hindsight, Junicode, Kerkis, LeedsUni, Lucida Grande, New Athena, Palatinos, Times; Uppercase Adscript: IFOAGrec, Vusilius. SBL Greek allows both adscript and subscript as variants; it defaults to adscript. |

ΙΛΙΑΔΟΣ Α

᾿Αχιλῆος (1)οὐλομένην, ἣ μυρί’ ᾿Αχαιοῖς ἄλγε’ ἔθηκε,
πολλὰς δ’ ἰφθίμους ψυχὰς ῎Αϊδι προΐαψεν
ἡρώων, αὐτοὺς δὲ ἑλώρια τεῦχε κύνεσσιν

ἐξ οὗ δὴ τὰ πρῶτα διαστήτην ἐρίσαντε
᾿Ατρεΐδης τε ἄναξ ἀνδρῶν καὶ δῖος ᾿Αχιλλεύς.
Τίς τάρ σφωε θεῶν ἔριδι ξυνέηκε μάχεσθαι;
