Looking into it, I came across the Ancient Greek Spell Checker extension for OpenOffice. Lately, I have stumbled upon the Tex Hyphenation Project, which provides hyphenation patterns for Ancient Greek. for ever :), and I have always been looking for an open source solution to the Ancient Greek (and Modern polytonic Greek) text editing chaos. LibreOffice (and OpenOffice before that) is the text editor I have been using since. Unicode may not be perfect, but it's natively supported by every Operating System, and as far as common users are concerned, makes Ancient Greek editing easier, enabling them to use every-day text editors (Microsoft Word, LibreOffice, OpenOffice, Abiword, etc.) without caring about special configurations, 'exotic' encodings, keyboard drivers and the like. Several encodings, each with its own pros and cons, special keyboard drivers for typing and fonts for displaying text have been in use (and still are), and reading a text file someone else has written was not always a success.įortunately, all this has changed with the ongoing standardization of Unicode. Editing Ancient Greek text has always been a burden.
