Greek Fonts in Notes?

rkagarise

Nice work on Zotero. I have become a Zotero evangelist.

I am working with Greek materials, and I am wondering if there is way to get my Greek fonts to display in the notes panes. Alternatively, if this is not possible, does anyone have suggestions on how to work around this issue?

Thanks,

At the moment it requires creation/editing of a CSS file:

Replace "Times New Roman" in the second example with the font of your choice.

[Edit: But see below. This shouldn't be necessary on most systems.]

Also note that Zotero+Firefox use UTF-8. The default font probably supports the entry of most greek characters.

Unicode Greek (even polytonic) goes quite nicely into the notes here. It sounds like you may be using some pre-unicode font, for which the solution will be tricky. Here's a little bit of unicode (UTF-8) polytonic Greek text to try on your own system.

Ἰωσὴφ υἱὸς Δαυίδ, μὴ φοβηθῇς παραλαβεῖν Μαριὰμ τὴν γυναῖκά σου, τὸ γὰρ ἐν αὐτῇ γεννηθὲν ἐκ πνεύματός ἐστιν ἁγίου·

You will need to make sure that Zotero is using a unicode font to display it, in order for it to look good.
