What fonts are available with the Traditional GreekKeys encoding?
In the 1980s, the bitmap fonts Sparta and Salamis (and Sparta+ and Salamis+) were distributed with the early versions of Traditional GreekKeys. These fonts are now obsolete and not supported. If you have documents containing these fonts, open them in a Classic application or on an OS 9 Mac and do a global replacement with a new font such as Athenian or Attika. In the 90s the Traditional GreekKeys fonts provided with the package were Athenian and Attika. These fonts are still in use today, with a 2004 revision. Allotype Typographics (Marc Cogan) produced and sold good Type1 PostScript fonts, Kadmos and Bosporos, until recently. Allotype is no longer in business, but donation of the fonts to the APA was completed in December 2004. Updated versions of the Traditional GreekKeys-encoded Kadmos and Bosporos are part of GreekKeys 2008, but more important, the glyphs from these fonts have formed the basis of a Unicode-encoded versions with additional characters, also part of GreekKeys 2008.
