FONT SAMPLE: ATHENIAN
Designed by Jeffrey Rusten, based on various Greek upright fonts
illustrated in Victor Scholderer, Greek Printing Types 1465-1927 (London
1927): that of Nicolaus Jenson (1472, plate 7), the Complutum Greek
Testament (ca. 1510), Robert Proctors Otter (1910, plate 59) and Victor
Scholderers New Hellenic (1927, plate 58). Here is a sample:

FONT SAMPLE: SYMBOL ATHENIAN
In addition to all the unaccented letters of the Athenian Greek font,
Symbol Athenian contains a number of special symbols for metrics, Greek
papyri and inscriptions. The typing instructions below are for the GreekKeys
Universal Keyboard. Most users will prefer to enter these special symbols
by using the command Insert symbol (in the Insert menu) of Microsoft
Word
Metrical Symbols
With shift and option keys depressed, metrical symbols can be printed
as follows:
w beginning/end of composition

\ end of period
e (frequent) caesura
r dovetailing

y triseme representing
u tetraseme
i one syllable of pair of which one is long
g ellipsis (catalexis or syncopation)
h long
j short
k resolved long
l contracted double short
; anceps
o long (extra large)
p brevis in longo
The following are superscript symbols, which must be typed after the
symbols over which they are to appearexcept for the bridge, extra-large
long and synizesis, which must be typed after the first of two symbols over
which they are to appear but before the second.
(Use these short and long marks only over other metrical symbols: for
marking long vowels see below.)
b resolved long
n short
c bridge

The larger superscript symbols must be typed at a little distance from the left
