WP Greek Century in Mac doesn't work with Dreamweaver

Question

I am a many year PC user and have finally made the leap too Mac and its another learning curve .. That said, in Dreamweaver and in Mac, WP Greek Century does not work!  I have reloaded the font and all I see is the alpha #.   If I load it into any browser, it still will not read greek.  My old PC didn't have a problem with this.  Some of the download sites say that this font, WP Greek Century, works with both PC and Mac.  The one odd spin to all this is that this greek font works in Fireworks ... Is there anything I can do to make it work in Dreamweaver?  Please advise and thanks.  Mark
ps.  I called Apple support and they could not help.

Answer 1

Thanks for your reply and I was afraid that this might the answer.  Looks
like I'm going to have to go back and fix a bunch of documents. Appreciate
your help in this matter.  Mark

Fonts don't work on the web like they do in print.  Any font you use on a
website will require that the end user have that same font installed on
their system.
I did try to load that font from a free source (assuming this is how you
got it).  It is a PC TrueType and doesn't appear to work at all on the
Mac.  Now if you are looking for just a few characters you can code this
into the HTML:

.html .  As far as other fonts, this greek font seems to work on Mac:
http://www.dafont.com/ancient-geek.font .  But again, it's not a web-font
so you won't be legally allowed to use it on web pages, and it will only
work if the end user has that font installed on their system, unlike the
HTML entities previously linked.
