Aphrodisias in Late Antiquity 2004
[Close Print-Friendly Version]
To view the Greek in this publication, you need a Unicode compatible system and browser, and a font installed with polytonic Greek Unicode coverage. We have included below a list of such fonts and information on how to obtain them; several of these fonts are freely downloadable, others are commercial and cost money.
The CSS (stylesheet) on this site specifies a list of fonts in a certain order, so, for example, if you have the font 'Arial Unicode MS' installed, your browser will display Greek in this font; if not, it will try the text font on the list, etc. This means that so long as you have one of the fonts below installed on your computer, you should be able to read the Greek, accents and all, on this website. If you cannot read the Greek, i.e. it shows up as gibberish, or Greek letters alone appear fine but accented characters become squares [] or question marks ?, then you probably do not have a suitable Unicode font installed. In this case you have three options:

Please find another font to download, or obtain the most recent version of one of these two fonts.
