The problem with pc's and Greek fonts in general is that there is no freeware Unicode typing program. You can use New Athena Unicode (freeware) for reading unicode Greek letters, but you can't type them. Since I'm too cheap to pay the steep unicode-typing fees for an appropriate font, I'm forced to find something in Unicode (I use the TLG - Thesaurus Linguae Graecae), which I have access to through the university), and then copy-and-paste it. If I have to type something from scratch (for a quiz, for example), then I have trouble. I either end up copying-and-pasting a single letter at a time from some random text of Greek, or writing accents in by hand before I run it through the photocopier.
Macs have much better unicode-typing capabilities, but I can't afford one that's comparable to my PC in other categories.
