Win 8 Computer does not have Graeca II or Hebraica II fonts

There are other Greek fonts available. Logos currently uses SBL Greek and SBL Hebrew, which are available for free here: http://www.sbl-site.org/educational/biblicalfonts.aspx

The only reason one would need Graeca II and Hebraica II would be if, like me, they'd used them to format chunks of text in other software (e.g., Word or PowerPoint) back in the pre-Logos 4 days and now can no longer read those documents without the fonts installed.

I am now beginning to keep a list of add-on fonts that I've installed to add to the ones that came with Windows, so that I can carry them forward with me to any new machine I get.

Hi Rosie,

Thanks for your reply to Jon (above).  I had the same issue.  As Libronix grew and turned into Logos I went with it - but lost the Graeca II font.  All the papers I wrote in seminary use Graeca II or Hebraica.  I have hard copies... in my garage... somewhere.  But I'd like to be able to read my digital copies.  I've searched and searched for those old fonts. 

I was able to get Graeca II again through your post.   I appreciate that. 

For some reason it's not helping with my papers though.  Now, instead of gobblygook, they have squares.  It appears that all the letters have been erased.  Sigh.  But sincerely, thanks for your help.  Just making it this far has been an encouragement.  If I found out that having the fonts again doesn't fix my problem after re-purchasing them, I would be even more frustrated.

Yes, I believe so.  It's Graeca II. When I hovered over the words (which looked like wingdigs) the font box said Graeca II.  

All my papers had wingdigs in place of Graeca II and Hebraica.  

I reinstalled those fonts and now all my papers have boxes.  

Here's a cut-n-paste from one of those papers.  

Many contemporary evangelicals assume that a prophecy is a prediction that has only one clear fulfillment, but Matthew’s use of , “to fulfill,” challenges that assumption.  He uses various forms of  and a total of seventeen times in his gospel.  Eleven times he uses the phrase , 

I had some old documents that used the Graeca II and Hebraica II fonts. I installed the old Libronix program which included the ability to convert the fonts from Graeca and Hebraica to unicode fonts just so I could rescue the Greek and Hebrew in old documents like that. Not everything works, but that part of the program still worked.

The only way legally to acquire Graeca II and/or Hebraica II is to purchase a product in which they are included. The cheapest such product is Graeca II & Hebraica II, $39.95 from Linguist's Software, see https://www.linguistsoftware.com/graecahebraica.htm. Logos owners may order any Linguist's Software product at 20% off by noting "Logos owner" in the special instructions window near the bottom of the order form at https://www.linguistsoftware.com/orders/orders.htm. Please note that the old Graeca II & Hebraica II and even earlier Graeca and Hebraica fonts licensed by Logos were in a symbol font format that is no longer recognized by any version of Word for Windows since Word 95. This is why texts appear as rectangles instead of Greek or Hebrew text. The way to convert such old text into Graeca II & Hebraica II text that appears properly in versions of Word later than Word 95 is to purchase Graeca II & Hebraica II, install them in a computer with access to Word 95, open the document in Word 95 (the Graeca II and Hebraica II text will now appear properly),and  save that document. Now the document can be opened and read in later versions of Word for Windows and other applications that read Word documents as long as Graeca II & Hebraica II are installed on that computer. Linguist's Software will do this conversion for you for $49 an hour. You can order custom conversions of Word documents containing Graeca II and/or Hebraica II using the order form at https://www.linguistsoftware.com/orders/orders.htm, noting any special instructions in the special instructions windows near the bottom of the order form. 

If you need to convert Graeca II into Unicode, such as the SymbolGreekU fonts used to publish the Nestle-Aland Novum Testamentum Graece 28th edition (see  https://www.linguistsoftware.com/lgku.htm), the LaserGreek Converter (see  https://www.linguistsoftware.com/lgkc.htm) with a single command convert all instances, even if there are thousands of such instances, of Graeca II text in a Word document into, e.g. SymbolGreekU. I know because I converted thousands of instances of LaserGreek ASCII text in my book, Man and Woman, One in Christ (Zondervan) from a LaserGreek font into the Unicode encoded OdysseaUBSU.

The LaserHebrew Converter (see  https://www.linguistsoftware.com/lhebc.htm) converts instances of Hebraica II text in a Word document one by one into Unicode encoded fonts, e.g. NewJerusalemU (see https://www.linguistsoftware.com/lhebu.htm), the font licensed by Oxford University Press for all members of the Oxford Hebrew Bible team.
