[Steve Z.: Someone on the Zoot forum was just talking about how he was able to get Zoot to work fine with Japanese characters. I don’t know if you’d expect Zoot to work any differently with Japanese than with Greek…]

Well, it works; though one can choose language scripts on all Unicode fonts such Arial, Times etc, the script seems to be imposed in Zoot only in MS fonts, i.e. MS Gothic, MS Serif etc. This is curious as Arial, Times, Verdana etc are also Microsoft-supplied fonts and they work perfectly well with Greek for most uses. The MS-prefixed fonts are usually selected for system use, so I imagine that’s got something to do with it.

Steve and Graham, thanks for the suggestions; an apology to Tom Davis at Zoot for jumping to conclusions; and a sigh of gratitude for the extended—by one- choice of software I now have for working in Greek.
