GreekTranscoder

GreekTranscoder Publisher's Description:
GreekTranscoder is a program which converts polytonic Greek characters written using one text encoding into another one. Its primary goal is to allow the conversion of documents using older fonts and encodings into Unicode fonts. However, it also allows converting text between older encodings as well as from Unicode into those obsolete formats.

Currently GreekTranscoder supports the following legacy encodings:

* Beta Code
* GreekKeys
* Ismini
* LaserGreek
* Paulina Greek
* SGreek
* SPIonic
* SuperGreek
* Vilnius University
* WinGreek (and Son of WinGreek)

And, of course, GreekTranscoder supports Unicode, using either composed or composing characters. A Unicode text can be converted into Unicode itself with different conversion settings.

What's new in this version:

* General code clean-up and optimization: the program is much smaller as a result, and should be faster as well.
* The program now systematically verifies and sorts composing characters' sequences for encodings that use them.
* Providing an encoding is susceptible of such composing characters' verifications, choosing both a source and a target font belonging to that encoding will run those checks.
* The program now produces pairs of surrogate UTF-16 codepoints to represent UTF-32 codepoints Word can't insert directly rather than use other characters as substitute.
* Worked around a problem with Word sometimes losing track of the current selection and transcoding all the document instead.
* Sometimes the program would fail to color in red the characters it couldn't transcode: it's now fixed.
* When converting Beta Code texts which only use regular sigma letters, the program will now produce final sigma letters as needed.
* Increased the font box size in the GreekTranscoderToolbar.
