Copy and Paste Greek Words

I'm trying to figure out how to keep the Greek words in a copied text from a commentary. When I copy a section of the commentary into word the Greek word that is referenced just shows up as 4 or 5 boxes. I looked at that Shibboleth tool but I'm not sure that's what I'm looking for. Any help would be appreciated!

Chris,

I get Greek characters in Word from the NA27 in L4. They are in the Gentium font in Word. Do you have that font?

This looks like a font issue. Libronix (and Logos4) use unicode to produce Greek characters (as well as other foreign language characters). So make sure you're pasting into a font that supports unicode.

But if you're copying from a pre-Libronix resource (lix/lsf), it may be using Graeca, or something similar. If it's displaying properly in Logos, you probably have it in your fonts folder.

Thanks all! It was a font issue. I was trying to copy a brief comment from a commentary in an on-going email with a couple of buddies but was getting nowhere when the commentary used Greek words. I used the Gentium font and that fixed it. Word was trying to use some other font (other then the font I was using) for the Greek word and that made that word all boxes.
