Welcome to WebmasterWorld codename065. Are you using UTF-8, or if not, what character encoding are you using?

I read this...but don't know if it applies or helps you..thnx..Mike dfw
The methods used by GreekKeys fonts, etc. are proprietary font encodings: each imposes a different set of glyphs on the ISO 8859-1 encoding of the Latin characters. The computer is told that the font is an ISO 8859-1 font. It "sees" a but displays á (alpha). On the other hand, there is the ISO 8859-7 encoding for modern Greek; when this encoding is used, the computer "sees" á. However, ISO 8859-7 doesn't provide for polytonic Greek, and there are other advantages to the use of a single encoding (e.g., the UTF-8 encoding, which is one of the Unicode-compliant encodings) for multiple scripts.
