Greek font in the morphology popup box
Is there any way to change the Greek font of the lemma word which is included in the morphology box which pops up when holding the mouse cursor over a word in a tagged Bible? (I know the Greek font for the resource itself can be changed in program settings, but this change does not seem to affect the font used in the box.) My only reason for wanting to change it is that the π in the font used on my PC displays as an upside down U (without the extending tick marks of a normal π), making it hard to read. (I'm on Logos 4 under Windows 7)

Not to my knowledge. I use Gentium but the appearance of the letter in a popup isn't an issue for me (below)

Dave,
The word you underlined in red is not the issue (since it uses the Gentium font), but in your snapshot the προφητης in the box below (just before "noun") uses a different font and does show what I was talking about. The π there does not have the tick marks. It's not so bad when the π is at the beginning of a word like here, but in the middle of a word it is hard to recognize as a π, and I'd love to be able to change that font to Gentium or something else. Of course this is not a real big deal and i don't mean to sound critical of such a phenomenal product.

.. was intended to show it is the word used in the pop-up but I underlined the manuscript instead of the lemma!

I don't know if it is related to using Gentium or is a fixed font, but the pi didn't fit your description of the upside-down English letter! So it appears we are stuck with it.

Dave,
I don't mean to be making an issue of every little "jot and tittle" but the pi did fit my description (at least on my monitor). I probably didn't make myself clear referring to the "pop-up box". The morphology box is actually a pop-down box. If you look back at your first message, at the bottom of your screen capture snapshot, in the box with the words "προφητης; noun; genitive, singular; masculine" you should be able to see the π without the extenders (like an upside down u with square corners.). That box is using some font other than Gentium. The π in that font is quite hard to recognize when it's not the first letter of a word. A fellow student and Logos user mentioned the same thing to me, but I had noticed it often before.

I didn't see it as an upsidedown u until you added the square corners comment. I suspect that the issue has to do with the familiarity with Greek and the features that you see as distinctive to the letters. You are correct that it would be useful to change the font. Have you tried enlarging the display to see if that helps?

If you had said that at first we would have been done and dusted - the upside down U had me wondering about the curvature[:D]
I understood the rest of your description but wanted to clarify that we were seeing the same pi.
God bless,

Changing the font size of the underlying resource does not change the size of the morphology box. I would guess that changing either the default Logos size (in Program Settings) or the default Windows display size would change the box size, but I have not tried it and did not want to change those just for one little π.

What I do when I'm having trouble deciphering the Hebrew is use to zoom in slider on my keyboard rather than a permanent resize. I'm so used to doing it that it's not a bother. But it isn't the best permanent solution.
