Can I use the Symbol font that ships with Windows and Macintosh operating systems to read files typed in your SymbolGreek II font?
No, it will not work. The Symbol font that comes with computer operating systems does indeed contain Greek characters, but it is not a complete Greek font. It lacks all breathing marks, accents, iota subscripts, diereses and combinations of them as well as other letter forms and text-critical symbols used in Greek. Our SymbolGreek font was created to provide a complete Classical and Biblical Greek font based on the ‘style’ of the Symbol font. Their character sets are significantly different. Someone receiving a message typed in one of our LaserGreek fonts will have to have one of our LaserGreek fonts to read it.
