It can be opened with your browser and searched, or downloaded and searched with a word processor. For a tab-delimited text-document showing the complete list of the codepoints and glyph names in the font (an extract of a Unicode cmap table in the font), click here. Anyone who wishes to experiment with decomposed Unicode input may contact me to obtain the testing version of GKUdecomposed input (for US keyboards only).
If you install this version, please be sure you first uninstall New Athena Unicode.dfont, if that is the version you have been using. The Unicode standard does not specify or create any font (), a collection of graphical shapes called glyphs, itself.Rather, it defines the abstract characters as a specific number (known as a code point) and also defines the required changes of shape depending on the context the glyph is used in (e.g., combining characters, precomposed characters and letter-diacritic combinations). With this version, the separate provision of a dfont format font is discontinued, since the ttf format works exactly the same. The font will work the same as before with GreekKeys Unicode input (which inputs precomposed codepoints and PUA codepoints). Otherwise, versions 2.8 and 2.85 contain a few corrections over 2.7 and for the first time OpenType ligature features that allow the inputting of decomposed Unicode Greek in OpenType-savvy applications (like Mellel and InDesign CS2).
Version 2.86 adds two Private Use Areas for Coptic papyrology, precomposed coptic iota and upsilon with diaeresis at U+EC4F and U+EC50. Version 2.86 of New Athena Unicode, dated August 20, 2006, replaces version 2.8 (July 24, 2006) or 2.85 (August 10, 2006), with a few additional glyphs added to reflect Unicode 5.0 and six epigraphic characters recently approved for a future version.
