Greetings Peter,
I type in polytonic Greek by using the GreekKeys Unicode keymapping
for OS X. GreekKeys is available here: http://apagreekkeys.org/AboutGKU.html
... I believe that the 2008 version also is available for Windows.
My .tex files, therefore, are in Unicode (UTF-8) encoding. I use the
XeLaTeX engine for typesetting, in order to take advantage of the
LaTeX extensions, but the plain-vanilla XeTeX (available at http://www.tug.org/xetex/
, for OS X and with a port to Windows) should provide you with a way
to directly process UTF-8 encoded TeX files.
As a result, my .tex files include Unicode polytonic Greek characters
directly, which I type in using the GreekKeys keyboard configuration;
Porson gets used as the output font, which I select using the Fontspec
package (available only under XeTeX, alas).
I've attached a sample .tex file and the corresponding PDF output, so
you can see how I set things up.
Cheers,
Erik Norvelle
