You can type Ancient Greek in almost any Windows program, using the "Greek Polytonic" keyboard, which comes with Windows. This uses the standard Unicode encoding, which contains all the characters necessary for Ancient Greek, although not all of these are included in all Unicode fonts. Information about the best fonts can be found on Alan Wood's excellent site at http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/fonts_windows.html#greek . Alec McAllister
