      Hi all!

      I’m redesigning a medical magazine and have picked one font that doesn’t have all the greek characters that I need (stupid, I know). I’ve figured out I can change the font on only those characters by using GREP formats but I havn’t been able to figure out exactly how I should write it.
      When I tested it I wrote [[:unicode:]] which changes all characters that have a code greater then 255, but I would really like to be more specific then that. Can anyone please help me?

      (Also these GREP formats seem awesome. Need to learn more about them. :)

      Have a look at https://creativepro.com/search-for-foreign-language-characters-in-text.php
      where it mentions searching for Unicode ranges (scroll down a bit).
      It seems 0370–03FF is the range you need to cover Greek.

      May be worth checking if the authors
      a. used proper Greek characters from that range
      or
      b. used the Symbol font, which can sometimes be a pain, as some versions of Symbol reuse the Latin range for Greek symbols for maths etc.

      Good luck,
      Chris.
