SUGGESTION: Add a Greek font

Sometimes, I want to show my congregation a Greek word to help better explain a passage. In order to do that, I have to put an image together in Photoshop and upload it. It would be much faster and simpler if Proclaim just had even a basic Koine Greek font to type. Thanks.

We have a couple Greek Handwriting fonts as well as SBL BibLit.

Why does typing in those fonts only show up in English? Nothing actually shows up in Greek or Hebrew. Am I doing something wrong?

Proclaim uses proper Unicode, rather than 'faking' Greek text when you type Roman characters. That means you'll need to either copy/paste your Greek text from elsewhere, or switch to a Greek keyboard. (That's a setting on your Windows/Mac - you don't have to buy a new keyboard!).

I thinnk you have to install your Greek font into your PC first. Here is the font site to download fonts: http://befonts.com/

And after font downloading, you will need to drag the font into PC system font. In tutorial of how to add signature to photo, there is a part telling about the font adding to system.

Then reopen your PS, to see the Greek font.

Proclaim doesn't use local fonts installed on your PC, so there's no benefit in installing these fonts. The instructions by Scott and myself, given above are correct.
