Help in making coin labels....

I am in the process of typeing up detailed data labels for my 700+ unslabbed coins/ 60 percent are done. Now, I am getting into script that does not appear on my keyboard (Greek/ Medieval/ etc.) I tried useing "typeit" but seems to be not working. Any ideas????

Here is how to write Greek in unicode.

 

Thanks! Can you change "font size"? I usually print labels with size '6' font/ so I can cram lots of detailed info on label/ to fit into 2X2 SAFLIP.

 

You probably could after you imported it from the Unicode Greek inputter.

 

Don't bother looking for a medieval 4. There isn't one defined in Unicode.

 

Alternatively, you can use this. Besides Greek it has Aramaic, Phoenician and a host of other languages. It's my to-go-to site when looking for a transliteration.

I ended up getting the "Typeit" thing of a jig. Pretty nifty even for me its easy as pie. Once you download it, the little "t" shows up on yuor computer screens righthand corner. I type my data labels up/ then print off on fancy paper/ then useing a guillotine slicer cut them into proper format=fit into SAFLIP 2X2 flip. So today, my first trail/ I typed up data for a Katharina II AV 1/2 Rouble 1777. I used normal keyboard for all data/ save for Cyrillic legends. All you then do/ click on "t" logo/ a large spread sheet comes up/ you then pick the "Russian" language/ now your keyboard is Cyrillic. Being German/ I had to convert the cyrillic to my English board/ once I figured it out it was easy.
Example reverse legend= ПОЛТИНА 1777 (POLTINA 1777)
obv. legend= ЕКАТЕПИНА 11 1МП (KATHARINA II IMP)

You can do that for all languages/ new/old.

 

Thanks for that. If I print my labels in size 6 font via my printer/ which program is best for me to buy? I have considered "option 2"
I would be printing my coin labels to fit in 2X2 flips.
