Greek and Hebrew Hand-Drawn Fonts Not Working

I just downloaded the Hebrew and Greek hand-drawn fonts from Logos, and they aren't working.

I already have the Hebrew and Greek keyboards from Logos, and I installed all 4 fonts (2 regular and 2 dotted), though when the font previewer pops-up, it looks like a generic windows font and not anything hand-drawn at all. I installed it them anyways, and they show up on my fonts list in Word, though as soon as I go to type, it switches back to the default (calibri). Anyone know how to resolve this??

Thanks!

    This is because those are Unicode fonts. They don't overlay a roman-font a character with a greek alpha α (like such stone-age fonts like Graeca) but will have the alpha at another position in the 'codepage', further out. The font previewer shows the "normal" alphabet section of the codepage, which is not really helpful for Greek Unicode fonts, they have the usual roman-font characters there.

    Both words in the MS Word document are formatted as Logos Greek Handwriting font - to get the second one, I switched keyboard to EL (=Greek) 

     

    Works like a charm then - Word detects the second word as Greek language and even auto-corrects the closing sigma.

    Have joy in the Lord! Smile
