I don’t really have a “goto” font, because often the type of work I’m doing determines what font I use. I tend to use the scripty/fancy ones for design work, but haven’t had a chance to print a book or anything that would require a more serious font. šŸ™‚

Thanks for mentioning EB Garamond, I’ve added it to the list!

Accidentally pressed enter before I could finish the post. Its worth mentioning that “EB Garamond” is not too dissimilar to the style of “SBL Greek”, has a nicer kappa, and does appear to contain all of the correct accents as far as I can tell.

I really do like SBL Greek, but theĀ kappa is just too confusing for some beginners so I generally avoid it.I didn’t know about KadmosU, it looks like it solves that problem I am going to test it out. It might be a better font than the one I am using now.
