Old Greek inside the text

Hi list,

2 questions:
- is it possible to use the old Greek alphabet and, if yes, how?
- how can I insert some words or phrases written in old Greek alphabet into
normal (Italian) text?

Thanks a lot for any clue about it.
Enzo

Dear Enzo,

(Not that I'm an expert on these things, but in the spirit of Marco's  
plea for mails not to go unanswered...)

Are you trying to add some old Greek to a page in a Plone site?

If so, as Plone pages are encoded in utf-8, input should be the same  
as elsewhere on your computer.

However, it's quite possible that the fonts you regularly use don't  
include glyphs for old Greek characters, so you just see square boxes  
where the characters should appear. While you can download fonts to  
display them, or use a font that has glyphs for all Unicode characters  
(Arial Unicode?),visitors to your website might not have the  
appropriate fonts, so will see the square boxes.

If it really is just a few characters then displaying a graphic of the  
characters is more reliable. Less satisfying technically, of course.
