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.
