Questions

Which font should I choose?

For new text, choose a Unicode font: it works everywhere, including on phones and websites. CS fonts are only needed to open old documents typed with them.

What is the difference between a Unicode font and a CS font?

A Unicode font shows real Coptic characters. A CS font draws Coptic shapes on ordinary Latin letters, so the text only looks Coptic on a computer that has that font. Without it, you see Latin letters. To move a CS text to Unicode, use the converter.

Can I use these fonts in Word and PowerPoint?

Yes. Install the font, restart Word or PowerPoint, then select your text and pick the font in the font list. Text typed on this site keeps its letters in any Unicode Coptic font.
