Hi Tony,

Thanks again for that, I now have more of an idea of what I am up
against. Interestingly enough the "Bitstream Vera Sans" font certainly
looks pretty good but it does not show any breathing marks (the small
marks before words commencing with a vowel that indicate rough or
silent breathing) or marks of elision (where vowels have been
omitted).

You can see an example in the second word of the quote, your first png
(?Palatino) shows the breathing mark but not the second
(Bitstream...).

Latin certainly would be easier!!

Thanks again,

Andrew.
