Announcing GreekKeys 2005 Release (Nov. 30, 2004)

Now distributed at the APA Software web store (http://store.eSellerate.net/apa/apagreekkeys)

The revised and expanded GreekKeys 2005 Release for Macintosh computers contains two parts:

GreekKeys Unicode, the GreekKeys for the future (use it now with MS Word 2004 and many other OS X programs).

  • customized polytonic Unicode Greek keyboards for US/Canada and for eight European keyboards (all version 2.0), with improved flexibility, including chaining of diacritic entry
  • GreekKeys Symbol input for direct keyboard access to a full range of metrical symbols, epigraphic, papyrological, editorial, and Greek musical symbols as recognized in Unicode version 4.1 (the revised standard that will be published early in 2005)
  • New Athena Unicode font, version 2.0, expanded to include both new characters recognized in Unicode version 4.1 and to supply precomposed combinations (such as vowel with macron and other diacritics)
  • robust standard OS X installer package for use in OS X, version 10.2 or higher
  • full documentation of keyboards and fonts, including advice on conversion from traditional GreekKeys to Unicode and copy of shareware GreekKeysConverter

Traditional GreekKeys, the GreekKeys for backwards compatibility

  • customized polytonic Greek keyboards for US/Canada and for several European keyboards, inputting the GreekKeys encoding popular for 20 years
  • robust installers for use in OS 9.2, in the Classic environment, and in OS X, version 10.2 or higher
  • revised 2004 Athenian and Attika fonts, backwards compatible, but with additional encoding of omega with smooth breathing and acute accent to work around conflict with non-breaking space character in Word 2004 and other modern applications
  • full documentation of keyboard and fonts

System Requirements: Macintosh only, OS 9.2 or OS X 10.2 and higher

Distributed by internet download (9.2 MB disk image file) at $40 for an individual license, with optional CD available at an additional charge of $15 (including shipping and handling).
