Graphic Greek Font by Nate Wilson & Sons
In
the year 2000, I (Nate Wilson) worked with my 7-year-old son Beni and my
9-year-old son Josh to create a graphic-based Greek screen* font that would be
free of copyright restrictions. The letters we created are not based upon any
previously-existing font. What you see is not actually a font, but rather 170
separate graphics of individual letters, each referenced by the name of the
graphic so as to look like a font. The purpose of doing this graphically rather
than as a regular font is so that you can view portions of the Greek New
Testament immediately on the web without having to hassle with downloading
specialized Greek fonts or use special viewing applications. For this reason, I
have only created the characters used in the Greek New Testament, although
there are other characters used in Greek writing. Below is the full set of
characters we created. You are welcome to use them yourself if you wish. If you
find them helpful, please let us know!

NOTE: In the alternate texts, I used lowercase o to represent Omicron and uppercase O to represent omega. Likewise, I used lowercase a to represent alpha and uppercase A to represent eta.
* These characters are intended for viewing on a computer screen and are low-resolution for faster downloading. Unfortunately, they dont look as good when printed out on paper, since their low resolution makes them appear grainy in a higher-resolution format.
