Greek Ligatures

Vernon E Kooy has created a unique typeface with hundreds of ligatures that allows anyone to write Greek like a Renaissance scholar. It’s available exclusively here. Have a look.

Keyboards

I’d been asked how one best types Greek, and when detailing my favourite procedure, I thought this might be of use to others, too… The Greek keyboard has a few nifty features you won’t find elsewhere: for instance, mine is the only keyboard, I believe, where you can type lunate sigmas directly. I also provide a modified version of the US International keyboard which works hand in hand with the Greek one—I called it ‘Latine’ only because ‘International’ seemed rather too vague, or eurocentric… Just have a look.

Update 2010-08-04: I’ve switched to an Apple, so the above is no longer maintained. I hope I’ll find some time to post all the new wonderful Mac things I discovered…

Style

Just back from luminous Helsinki… I’m revising my paper on Priscian and Apollonius, and since Brepols’s normes rédactionnelles are rather different from what I ordinarily follow, I translated them into a style today. So for those among you preparing a paper for the same volume and working with EndNote, voici FR-AUS.Brepols.ens. It’s light and minimal—anything that didn’t seem indispensable had to go. (To install the style, first download the file to your desktop, unzip it, and then place it in the folder EndNote > Styles.)
