Message: [QUOTE="John Altman, post: 6864489"] Thanks, John. That was interesting :-) Now, some questions about how I deal with this in the real world. 1. Of course, I share documents with colleagues. Assuming I buy the Ascender font, what will happen when my doc ends up on a Mac that doesn't have it? Will my Greek characters in Georgia font get replaced by Greek characters in Times New Roman? What will happen on a Windows box? 2. Currently, when I'm using Georgia font and I insert a Greek character from the Character Palette, the font for subsequent characters switches to Times New Roman. This is very annoying -- is there anyway around it? 3. Actually, to answer my own question, I've found that if I set up an AutoCorrect entry for words that I commonly use that have Greek characters -- e.g. IFNg, where the g turns into a gamma -- then the gamma comes in as Times New Roman, but the subsequent characters remain in Georgia (this is probably because AutoCorrect is "activated" by the space that follows IFNg. I don't mind doing this for all sorts of cases -- I've even setup an AutoCorrect for something like "alphag" in which the 6 characters get replaced by a single Greek alpha -- this is far easier than mousing around with the Character Palette. Even though I've got some not-bad workarounds, is there another answer to question 2? Thanks in advance, John [/QUOTE]
