Greek font in F7 (text comparison) box
With both Hebrew and Greek I had the poor Arial font for both Greek and Hebrew text.
Because of a discussion in another thread I realised this should not be the case.
For Hebrew I uninstalled and reinstalled a few fonts, started and restarted L5, now I have the chosen Hebrew font in the F7 box.
However, I can't get the Greek text to do the same. Greek Arial all the time.
Do others have this poor Arial font in the F7 box?
How can I change it?

On Windows, guides and tools (e.g., Text Comparison) use the UI font (which is Source Sans Pro) for Greek text. Changing the default Greek font for resources does not change the UI.

Bradley,As always, thanks for the quick reply.
But why? Why can't we do with Greek what we can do with the more complicate (?) Hebrew fonts.
See pix as I
used to have, and now improved with selected hebrew font in F7 window.Stephen

I think the difference in these screenshots is caused by installing the "SBL Hebrew" font as a Windows font (which should have been installed by default with Logos 5), and not by changing the default Hebrew font in resource.
Just as Logos 5 is hard-coded to use Source Sans Pro as the Greek font in the UI, it's hard-coded to use SBL Hebrew as the Hebrew font. Changing the resource font preferences won't change that, but (un)installing the font will.

Thank you Bradley.
As you may know from my history I experiment with fonts all the time. I have tried dozens of Hebrew fonts. I am glad you have chosen SBL Hebrew. It is in my opinion the best.
So .... question .... why hard code such an aweful looking Greek font into the non resource uses?
Why not hard code SBL Greek into these uses?
Another matter .... why is the apparatus Greek font in GNT4th (so) italicised? See the way this is done in SBLGNT.
Similarly with OT quotations in NA28.
Thank you
Stephen
