i am not sure it's possible!
i tried here:
http://tasbeha.org/content/community/index.php/topic,12148.msg143500.html#msg143500

and could only do it on word for mac but not on internet chat forums.
i will be watching this space to see if anyone sorted it.
i had the same problem with arabic, but can now write in arabic (if i can find my piece of paper that shows where all the letters are!)

I am actually having problems with writing Coptic in Word. This only started happening to me a few days ago. Do you know what's going on?

I was reading something and the English was chopped-up, maybe sus.org, I don't remember exactly, is it fixed? English is my first language.

Edit: When I say "chopped-up", it's literally like 50/50 backwards. What's your legal document paper size? Ours is 9.5 x 11. Idk...

Are you having trouble reading and writing Coptic in Mac in general or MS Word (Mac or Windows)? I don't know what "chopped up" means. 

If you are talking about unrecognizable characters, the most likely reason is you don't have a unicode font (that supports Coptic) installed. This will happen no matter what operating system you have. First try to get a unicode font (New Athena is the de facto popular font but I think it is ugly. You can download it here. There are other unicode fonts available). 

If you need specific help for using Coptic in Mac or Windows, let me know.
