Using Greek in your posts?

I'm doing a study on Romans 11, about the olive tree passage. Fascinating. Eventually, I'd like to start a thread with questions and thoughts about it, but I'm gonna study it for a while first. Unless I can resolve the questions myself, I'll probably have some questions about some of the Greek words used and why different Greek words were used in different parts of the passage. In the mean time, I just wanted to ask if anybody has figured out a way to include Greek words in your posts? I can't seem to find any font tags.
Thanks,
Bob

Bob,

I may be able to add a modification for a font tag box, but until then, I believe you can always just type font=X in brackets around text.

So for example, [code:1]arete[/code:1] should yield
arete


Hmmm... it did not work. Let me see what I can do. Good suggestion.
test again


test again

test third time


test Hebrew font

test Tecknia font

test Tecknia font

I just see code gibberish where Greek was intended.

That was because the bbcode tags were affected by the changeover from phpbb to xmb. It should be fine now.
