If you were going to buy a Textkit t-shirt (maybe it'll be the "Just D'Ooge It" shirt?), which color would you pick?<br />

<br />There's a little section near the bottom of Profile editing called "Language Pack You Wish to Use". Does anyone know what it means? Is there any difference viewing this website when you choose Dutch, German or Finish? Why aren't other languages offered as options?<br /><br />

For those who haven't found it already, Perseus is a great site.<br /><br />Here is their table of contents http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cache/perscoll_Greco-Roman.html<br /><br />They have one of the biggest, if not the biggest collection of Greek and Latin texts on the web in the original and in translation. <br /><br />One option is to use the SP Ionic font we use for Greek here on textkit.
