About the Greek Font

The use of this calendar requires a Unicode Greek font (polytonic). There are some Unicode Greek fonts commonly available in Microsoft Windows (Arial Unicode MS or Palatino Linotype), as well as free fonts, such as TITUS Cyberbit Basic, which can be downloaded Thesaurus Indogermanischer Text- und Sprachmaterialien.

The Greek in this calendar is marked as .greek style

If you are building a webpage, you can define a class called "greek" which will facilitate the display of Greek on the page (of course you can modify the font list as you think appropriate):

.greek {
font-family: "Arial Unicode MS", "TITUS Cyberbit Basic", "Palatino Linotype";
font-size:14pt;
}

Using HTML font family tag

If you just want to cut and paste some HTML without using a stylesheet, here is a different script you can use which should work on any webpage that has UTF-8 encoding (the user can also force a page to UTF-8 encoding using their browser options). Just put the script inside a <div> tag marked something like this:

<div style=" font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS', 'TITUS Cyberbit Basic', 'Palatino Linotype' ; font-size:14pt; " >
