There used to be a Windows version but I think that is no longer available. Although there is some way to transfer the unicode version into Windows. If you must do this on a PC, check out http://www.arts.cornell.edu/classics/Faculty/Rusten/greekkeys/FAQ.htm Greek Keys 7.0for Mac has a character set for typing and displaying Greek characters that includes both fonts and a special keyboard. The option keys add the accents to appropriate vowels. Diacritical marks for poetry are also included. Option keys used to type accents: Pressing Option and one of the top row of keys tells the computer to add the specified accent over the next character typed, e.g.: option 1 acute option 2 grave option 3 circumflex option 4 smooth breathing option 5 rough breathing option 6 smooth and acute option 7 rough and acute option 8 smooth and grave option 9 rough and grave option 0 smooth and circumflex option - (hyphen) rough and circumflex option shift 1 diaeresis option shift 2 diaeresis with acute option shift 3 diaeresis with grave Greek Keys 7.0 may be purchased from Scholars Press Customer Services, P.
