JudyRedman Depends on what you're doing. CS Copto Manuscript is not a Unicode font, so
if you're hoping to produce text for publication or to share with people not
running Windows, you need something else. CS Copto Manuscript is also not
standard with older versions of Windows - I had to download and install it
myself when I first started learning Coptic several years ago.
