The problem with the Greek characters in the Windows' Symbol set is that
you don't get them with diacritic markers (accents, tilde, asper, lenis,
iota subscriptum). A better solution is WinGreek, which can be downloaded
from the web, see the info at
http://users.ox.ac.uk/~ball0087/download/FontsCtd.html
For Old English, the solution usually recommended by Anglo-Saxonists is
Peter Baker's OE fonts (available both for Windows and for Macintosh), see
the info and web addresses at:
http://units.ox.ac.uk/departments/humanities/toebi/fon.html
Or get them directly from Peter's homepage:
