Plain Text Input
The input plain text can be Beta code or any other encoding.
Font to font(s)
Convert plain text encoded with a source font into text encoded with one
or more target fonts. This can be useful to convert e.g. ancient Greek texts
written with arbitrarily encoded fonts like SuperGreek into Unicode or any
other font, or vice-versa.
- select fonts as output;
- select the source and target fonts in the fonts options pane;
- convert some text in the test pane or a set of files
from the File menu.
Note that if you select more than 1 fonts as targets your output will be properly shown
only in the tester pane (where each portion of the output text will be displayed with its
corresponding font), but it will not be saved properly to plain text (which by definition
does not allow font change). If you need to convert files in this way use DOCX input
(or open them in Word with Theuth), or load them
into the tester pane, convert and copy and paste the output.
Fonts to Beta code
This conversion takes as input a plain text encoded according to the specified
'font' or standard and converts it into Beta code.
- select Beta as output;
- select the fonts used to encode Greek and Latin text in your source using
the Beta options pane. There you can also customize
some other Beta code parameters;
- convert some text in the test pane or a set of files
from the File menu.
Unicode font to transliterated Greek
In a Unicode text all the appropriate Greek characters are transliterated
into a Latin-based alphabet, which may be limited to the 8-bit "Ansi"
Windows-1252 codepage, or use the full Unicode standard to output additional
diacritics (but be aware that in this case you should use a font with glyphs
for the character codes output, or you will see the familiar ugly squares instead
of some characters).
For instance, the first line of the Iliad will be transliterated into
a Windows-1252 Latin alphabet as Mênin áeide theà Peleïádeo Akhilêos.
- select transliteration as output;
- eventually customize a few parameters in the transliteration options
pane;
- convert some text in the test pane or a set of files
from the File menu.
