I think this may be too OT - but I did not look at Doug's source
code. So I did not know what font families he defined. I don't have
any of those he defined except Lucida Sans Unicode which I have
never used for Greek because it doesn't have any of the precomposed
characters.

I have not installed the other fonts yet because I am trying to test
out what people see in schools and libraries, on non-customized
machines. So the only fonts I have for Greek are Palatino Linotype,
which is the only one that looks remotely like classical that I
know, and Tahoma, modern, which doea almost everything, and
Microsoft Sans Serif, a relatively complete set of characters, but
also modern not classical.

So when I pasted the decomposed text into Notepad for fun this is
what I got.

This is an image so you should see what I see.

Then for more fun, bemusement, I pasted the decomposed text into
Word.

I think by now it is too OT. Please respond on my blog if you can
help. Really what I need is a list about fonts or combining
diacritics, if you can recommend one - great. I am starting from
scratch on this.

I picked up a few tips though about viewing source code in html. I
suppose I can learn to do that. Thanks.
