Unicode Question

[stevietheb]

Is there a way I can associate a certain font with a certain input menu?

For example, I often have to type Greek and Hebrew in addition to English. When I switch to Greek, rather than using Arial, or whatever unicode font the System likes, I'd like to have it use a different font by default. The same goes for Hebrew.

Is this possible?

what application do you want to do it in?

Word or email application? I don't think there is a setting you can change however, that is scriptable via applescript or microsoft by basic etc.

I would want to be able to do it in every app...but the most important, at the moment, would be OmniOutliner Pro.

First, off I don't have any experience with your particular language. however, you can do this.

goto pref then international settings. after check the language and keyboard you want. i assume you already done this. at the bottom check the show on input menu bar.

you should see a little flag on top. ok now you can select whatever language on keyboard setting you have setup. for "most" application the font will switch if you create a new document. for example, in word if i select one the chinese language on my menu then create a new document the correct font will be selected. Most other application should work this way as well. if you are written multi language documents I am sure how that works.
