Description: "Greek font (Porson revival)\n In England, during the 1790's, Cambridge\
\ University Press decided to procure a\n new set of Greek types. The university\u2019\
s great scholar of Classics, Richard\n Porson was asked to produce a typeface\
\ based on his handsome handwriting and\n Richard Austin was commissioned to cut\
\ the types. The type was completed in\n 1808, after the untimely death of Porson\
\ the previous year. Its success was\n immediate and since then the classical\
\ editions in Great Britain and the\n U.S.A. use it, almost invariably. In 1913,\
\ Monotype released the typeface\n with some corrections, notably replacing the\
\ upright capitals suggested by\n Porson with inclined ones. In Greece the typeface\
\ was used under the name\n Pelasgika type. GFS Porson is based on the Monotype\
\ version, though using\n upright capitals, as in the original."
