Greek Fonts
 

Right click with your mouse on these fonts and choose "save link (or target) as" in order to save them to your desktop; Greek.TTF, font instructions ,    sgfixed.TTF, GREEKPAR.TTF, shebrew.TTF. . Go to Start|Settings|control Panel|Fonts| and drag the file from your desktop into that window. If you have the Greek.TTF font installed correctly the following word will appear in Greek; }Acilh~oj      

The three fonts each serve a purpose. Greek.ttf makes it very easy to type in Greek and add the appropriate markings. Greekpar.ttf will be used for putting NT passages on the WB. Sgfixed.TTF will be used for putting classical Greek passages on the WB. Shebrew.TTF is an extra bonus for you future seminarians!

The instructions.doc explains how to use the Greek.ttf font to type the markings.

If you would like to be able to include Greek in a file whose user does not possess a Greek font, follow these instructions. Go to Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Languages tab > Details > Settings tab > Add (under Installed Services) and select Greek as a new input language. Then, under Preferences (right below Installed Services), go to Language Bar > select Show Language Bar on Desktop.  This is very handy, since it allows you to have a Language Bar on your taskbar, and you can switch between languages any time you want to (either using a keyboard shortcut, which you can set up, or just clicking the language bar and switching manually). 

These paradigms are provided as a means of learning the basic grammar that Greek demands. Each paradigm is accompanied by a chant or song that can be used as an aid in memorization. To hear each selection simply click on the name of the paradigm below each chart and your Real Audio Player will be activated.

                         ΘΑΥΜΑΣΙΑ ΧΑΡΗ

Θαυμάσια  χάρη, τι γλυκειά, που έσωσε κι εμέ!
Χαμένος ήμουν, μ' εύρηκε και μ'ελευθέρωσε.
Η χάρη με παρηγορεί, τους φόβους σκόρπισε
κι απ'τη στιγμή που πίστεψα ειρήνη μου΄φερε.

Πολλές παγίδες του εχθρού, κινδύνους αρκετούς
τους νίκησε και θα νικά η χάρη του Θεού.
Αυτός υπόσχετε ζωή, ο Λόγος Του μ'αρκεί,
θα με φροντίζει σίγουρα όσο θα ζω στη γη.

Όταν τελειώσει αυτή η ζωή της θλίψης και φθοράς,
θα έχω μια Ζωή εκεί ειρήνης και χαράς.
Και χίλια χρόνια εκεί ψηλά θα'ναι απλώς αρχή,
τη δόξα του Θεού θα υμνώ αιώνια και λαμπρή.
