Computer advancements have made Greek typography a very complex issue. Since Greek has different characters than English, people produced different fonts that used different key strokes for the Greek alphabet. These fonts (now called non-Unicode or legacy fonts) competed with each other since the Greek written with was not easily transferable to any other font style. Further people just grew accustomed to a particular keyboard layout for typing in Greek. Both of these reasons pushed Greek users to pick one font and stick with it.
The emergence of the Internet revealed the core problem with this legacy system. Not everyone used the same font so web pages would not display legible Greek text for everyone.
