merge two fonts
Hello. Now for my ebook reader i use goudy as default font. I have need to integrate greek fonts to read Plato (in italian but many words are in ancient greek) For other fonts that do not have greek i use fontforge to merge my font to a font that have greek ghyphs. But with goudy (a free font) i am not able.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance |

I *think* but I might be wrong that if you read a kEpub the reading engine will use a different font for missing characters in your main font.

@sage79,
Not really an answer to your original question, but I vaguely remember, several years ago, some forum members used one of the Gentium fonts for reading Greek. Quote:

That does work but what I've found iis the font size for the replacement text is generally very different from the rest of the text font size.

Just put Tahoma on my Kobo Touch, It = on Windows NT4 or later, & MS [& Open] Office, so just about all have it. I know it has more Greek [ 7PHK ;-) ] letters than others.
