re Old Germanic fonts:
The Summer Institute of Linguistics (www.sil.org) has marvelous links to
all kinds of information, including downloadable fonts for hundreds of
languages, f. ex.:

Re.: Capturing Greek ?
With respect to optical character recognition (OCR) of Greek fonts,
allow me to direct your attention to ReadIRIS, if commercially
available software is the only option to take.
ReadIRIS was developed by Pierre de Meulenaere of the University
of Louvain (Belgium). The most recent version has language support
for 22 Eastern and Western European languages, including the Cyrillic
alphabets, mathematical symbols, and Greek. While character mapping
files for trained characters used to be restricted to a size of 64 KB
in Omnipage Pro, files for trained fonts may become four times as large
in ReadIRIS. Remember that for best results with exotic fonts, OCR
should be executed interactively rather than automatically.
Sincerely
