Recently in Greek Category
I just discovered a new large True-Type Unicode font called Quivira from a German developer. It is based somewhat on Garamond, and includes a lot of useful characters such as Latin, Phonetics, Math, Greek, Coptic, Cyrillic, Cherokee, Currency, Box/Geometrics/Arrows, Old Italic, Gothic, Braille, Armenian, Hebrew and so forth.
The site is in German, but there's enough information for a user to get by using "Internet German", and as the author says "Quivira ist Freeware."

For those of you wanting to understand "polytonic" vs. "monotonic" sites, these pages may be helpful.

I sense I will be updating some pages at some point....
