Many of the sites listed in our
resource guide, contain Greek characters written using the codeset known as "ELOT
928". In order to view Greek characters, you need to install Greek fonts on your
operating system. For your convenience, we provide a set of Greek fonts for different
platforms. Please choose the set matching your operating system, and follow the
installation instructions. Keep in mind that these fonts will allow you to read Greek
characters. In order to write in Greek, you will also need to install an appropriate
keyboard driver (Windows 95 user can install Multilanguage support for Greek). For more
information on reading and writing Greek on your favorite platform you may also visit the
Hellenic Resource Institute's pages.
In addition to Greek fonts, this page will also provide a source for getting useful
Internet utilities (Browsers, viewers, etc.).
