Fonts Supporting Polytonic Unicode Greek

October 23, 2007 by Phil Gons

Greek ManuscriptRod Decker, Professor of Greek and New Testament at Baptist Bible Seminary, Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania, recently blogged about how new Vista fonts Cambria, Calibri, Candara, Consolas, Constantia, and Corbel unfortunately do not support polytonic Unicode Greek. Be sure to check out the PDF where he evaluates them.

In a comment, I noted that another new Vista font, Segoe UI, does support polytonic Unicode Greek. I also mentioned some nice polytonic Unicode Greek fonts that come with Adobe’s Creative Suite: “Arno Pro (serif), Garamond Premr Pro (serif), and Hypatia Sans Pro (sans serif)—a free gift downloadable after registering the product.” Decker responded and asked if I would post a PDF with samples, so that’s what I’m doing.

My First Attempt at Building a Computer

August 30, 2007 by Phil Gons

Due to some problems I was having with my three-year-old Dell Inspiron 5150, I decided to get a new computer. Instead of buying from Dell or elsewhere, I ended up building my own computer from scratch. I purchased all the individual components, assembled them, installed the OS and drivers, and then installed all my software. I thought I’d share my experience as a first-time builder for those of you who have considered doing the same thing.

Hardware

Here are the components I purchased:

  • $97 Motherboard: EVGA nForce 650i Ultra 775 T1 (NewEgg | ZipZoomFly)
  • $165 CPU: Intel C2D E6320 1.86MHz (NewEgg | ZipZoomFly)
  • $134 RAM: 4GB (4x1GB) of OCZ Gold DDR2-800 PC2-6400 (NewEgg | ZipZoomFly)
  • $66 GPU: MSI GeForce 7600 GS 256MB w/ Dual DVI (NewEgg | ZipZoomFly)
  • $234 HD: 2x 500GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 (NewEgg | ZipZoomFly)
  • $40 PSU: Antec Neo HE 500w (NewEgg | ZipZoomFly)
  • $0 Case: Ultra Wizard Mid-Tower ATX Case (NewEgg | ZipZoomFly)
  • $0 Fans: 2x 120mm Powmax Typhoons (NewEgg | ZipZoomFly)
  • $42 DVD-RW: Lite-On 20X (NewEgg | ZipZoomFly)

$778 total (includes shipping and after rebates)
