| I have FinalWriter 5 and I would like, alongside with English to type Greek. However, when I try to type Greek, it comes up with gibberish (Mojibake). I have tried loading my Greek fonts (topazgr,etc,etc), but it says "Cannot load Outline font". Any ideas? If there is no Greek font, is there any way to convert existing fonts to finalwriter fonts?
PS: I am using Workbench 3.11 on a Classic Amiga (emulated A1200). Last edited by linuxlalala on 16-May-2013 at 03:16 PM.

.PFB (Printer Font Binary) type fonts work very well with FW, I use them on FW97.
I have a CD made by Weird Science called - surprisingly - Weird Science Fonts CD. This contains loads of .pfb type fonts, though gawd knows where you would obtain one of these now.
There may be some .pfb fonts available for free download? Try Aminet.

I don't remember with which version FW started supporting True Type fonts. If FW 5 does support them. I could send you a greek font file I have here: Graeca II. I just typed some Greek in FW97 using it.

I can load some Greek pfb fonts, but Greek still comes up as Mojibake.

| It works with this set of fonts (MPFonts3_Adobe.lha) . I will post a screenshot and a guide soon. |
