It is also good practice to also wrap the text with something like this:



I went into detail into reasons why in Post #20 and #22 of "Problem with inline image" (example images included).

The gist is that images of text are:
  • Not Accessible
    • Not readable by TTS
    • Not copy/pastable
    • Not able to be looking up by dictionary (Greek->English one)
  • Don't follow user preferences
    • Color, font, font size, [...]

And if you MUST use images of text, please save as PNG instead of JPG.
Thanks for your suggestions. The problem is that I have only minimal skills in ebook design, and simply don't know how to do what you are suggesting, or how to find out.

I think I have three options so far: to include the Greek couplet as an image, to replace the Greek text with the English translation, or to leave the book for someone else to do.
