I'm new to Logos, and am looking for the proper fonts to download in order to cut and paste Greek and Hebrew texts from Logos to Word.  Any suggestions?

    For me, "Times" works for Greek, as does Cambria. For Hebrew, I have SBL Hebrew installed.

    I did notice a bug in copying from LXX w/ Logos Morphology into Word today, so I'm going to look into that later today. But copying Greek out of NA27 or Hebrew out of BHS resources seem to work fine for me in Word otherwise.

    First, Word for Mac does not handle Hebrew text well. It does  not seem to understand right-to-left. The only Mac word processor that handles Hebrew well is Mellel, but it has a rather steep learning curve.

    For Greek, I use SBL Greek & Gentium, 

    For Hebrew, I use SBL Hebrew & Ezra

    I just turned on my international keyboard so that I can switch between Greek and Hebrew with a key combo.  No specific font required, but some fonts work better than others.  Times New Roman works well with both languages.  Cardo is also decent--provided that you don't need italics or bold text.

     

    Hope this helps
