I have successfully read Greek from Lynx on Windows using the
Courier New Greek font from www.hri.org/fonts about two years ago -
(yet it did not work with the www.goarch.org Greek pages - at least
not back then - and they told me that since it worked with Windows,
they weren't going to bother). But I have never succeeded in doing
this with DOS and MSKermit. I have only tried this using the abcgrl
program (I thought it should work because kdp works the same way for
Japanese). Perhaps I have been setting the character set wrong in Lynx
(heck if I even remember what I used in Windows). HRI had a codepage
which doesn't look like the typical IBM codepages in name (I forget
right now) so I was confused if it would work and if indeed IBM offers
a different codepage inside Greece. Where would I be able to find the
standard IBM codepage in the USA (preferably on the web)? Is it
possible that the problem with the IBM codepage is that it uses an
older format and not the (ISO) ELOT 928? (I saw the Greek fonts for
Win 3.11 and I don't recall seeing it there, but I might be wrong.)
Please excuse my confusion.
