Help w/ Greek font in Personal Book
I have a personal book that I can't see to get the Greek font to show up correctly. The font that works is "Greek", however when I try to build the book it tells me I can't use that font. Other Greek fonts don't display correctly. Doubtless there is other information that should probably be included here but I don't really on enough to know what, so any follow up questions would be very much appreciated.
Here is an image from the Word doc.
Here's what I get in Logos using an acceptable Greek font.

John, it seems you pasted screenshots into your post - this unfortunately won't work. You need to save the files (e.g. as jpg or png format) and then include them by using the paperclip icon of the forum editor.
Generally: Logos will require a UNICODE font to properly work for Greek (such as SBL BibLit, SBL Greek).
Have joy in the Lord!

Can anyone point me to a resource that would help me understand the use of Greek fonts in creating personal books. I did download a unicode font (Teknia Greek) and Logos built the personal book w/out errors. The Greek looks fine in MS Word but after I build the book it's no longer Greek characters.
Thanks much in advance for any assistance.
John

I just use Times New Roman in the Word Document for Greek. It is Unicode, and displays fine when compiled into a Personal Book.

Curious about language setting for Greek words in MS Word ?

Even though my application preferences have 'SBL BibLit' for Greek Font, building a Personal Book with 'SBL BibLit' for Greek words receives error about 'SBL BibLit' font not supported for resource while 'Times New Roman' font compiles without errors (does have Greek language setting for Greek words and English language setting for English words).
Keep Smiling [:)]

Teknia Greek used to be a NON-unicode font that was put out by Mounce many years ago (actually I had it installed on an older machine, and looked for it yesterday, but lost it) - nowadays Mounce suggests unicode fonts: https://www.billmounce.com/freegreekfont/unicode
Non-unicode fonts will replace English characters, so the a is looking like an α when formatted in the font, whereas unicode fonts differentiate between those. John, you might need to use a converter to rework your book, if it's currently non-unicode.
