Hi Guys,

I’ve been having this problem for ages now and never been able to solve it or reach a conclusion. I regularly need to copy and paste Greek text from a word doc or xls into an artwork format such as illustrator but although I have the correct Greek fronts installed it never takes the font when its pasted and I also cant change it to the correct font either. The same happens when I try to use the greek keyboard in OSX.

I have been stuck with this problem through a few software updates so I know it occurs in OSX all version and CS1 - CS3.

Anyone have any ideas! Please!

Thanks,

Andy
