I sometimes set personal goals for myself.  Right now I am considering a goal for the next year of some study of Biblical Greek.  I have not fully decided, but I am thinking about it.

As part of that process, I have loaded Tyndale Greek and Hebrew fonts onto my main computer, as well as the needed Unicode.  Today I have been attempting to learn how to type words into Greek characters.

Unfortunately, something has gone wrong.  Now, on my main computer, I can only type with Hebrew characters.  I cannot type with English.

Note I am using a 2nd computer to enter this message.

Help.

I am back in business with my main computer and in English.

Yes, my OS is Windows 10.

I was attempting to follow the Tyndale instructions.  I do not know what went wrong.  I will have to continue to work on it.

Sorry to hear that GM! You should be able to talk to someone from the software company to fix it? Should've come with some kind of warranty?? or you could do a goggle search on the exact problem? I've gotten much help that way. Anyway good luck!!

Back in the old days, I used to build my own computers.  I would walk in to a store  with a list of parts, purchase them and soon I would have a working computer.  But, I have not done that for years. But, it helped me when I ordered this computer form Dell, built to my specifications, and when it arrived, and a ULSB port did not work, I simply opened it up ,saw that a cable had not been connected and presto it was fixed.

But, I am not real up on software and the operating systems.

In Windows 10, the shortcut for switching between whichever languages or keyboard layouts you have enabled is "Win+Space"

I have been following the instructions that came with the Tyndale fonts and not been successful in doing so.

I followed your instructions and they worked:  ασδΗτρ    ֶֶהַס תג  דֶבשֶת

Thanks so much. By the way, the 1set of the above is Greek and the 2nd set is Hebrew.

I have no idea as to why the instructions that I was following did not work, but you have solved my problem.

On another subject:  For those who would like to build their own computer,  I always used the following book:

Scott Mueller, Upgrading and Repairing PCs

This is actually a series of books that has been published over the past 24 years.   These books are comprehensive and exceed 1,000 pages in  length.  But, they cover all of the issues that you need to consider in building a computer.

The first issue that one needs to decide is what does one want the computer to do.  Once one decides that the critical issue is to match the components to accomplish the task.  As an example,  Some computer cases will not accept some mother boards.  Once one has a match there, one must select internal parts such a   memory and external parts such as storage drives that match both the purpose of the intended computer and the chosen motherboard.  Decisions will be made on many issues, such as how to cool the computer and how much cooling to be provided.

Mueller's book address all such issues and help in making the decisions that must be made.
