What is the name of the Greek font used in so many books, for example, in North and Hillard’s Greek Prose Composition Key? I mean the printer font, of course, not any computer font.
This font seemed to be ubiquitous, but I don’t see any new computer fonts that even resemble it. I’m wondering why. Is this old font unpopuplar, for some reason?
Do any printed Greek books give a note at the front that indicates the name of the Greek font used? I’m wondering if this old font has a name.
Yes, that’s it, thank you. Do you also happen to know the name of the font used in the little Liddell and Scott? I mean the boldface font used for dictionary entries. That font looks like Porson but it is upright.
A lot of Greek fonts have diacriticals that are too small, and it becomes difficult to see them. Porson has nice big diacriticals. Keeps me from squinting.
