GreekKeys is a product that has been providing easy keyboard input and specialized fonts for scholars of ancient (polytonic) Greek since 1984. For most of its history it has been a Macintosh-only product and until a few years ago it exploited a custom encoding for polytonic Greek that was widely used, but is incompatible with modern standards. From the time of the release of GreekKeys 2005 for Mac OS X, GreekKeys fonts and keyboards have supported instead the use of Unicode as the proper standard for polytonic Greek. Now, GreekKeys 2008 is the successor product to GreekKeys 2005, with the major difference that this new version contains keyboards for PCs running Windows XP or Vista as well. For more information about the new version, see the GreekKeys 2008 page. GreekKeys is owned and distributed by the American Philological Association, a non-profit professional organization of North American classical scholars. GreekKeys is currently maintained and revised by Donald Mastronarde, Professor of Classics at the University of California, Berkeley. |
