Ms Windows browser setup
Here you can find instructions about Netscape's Navigator/Communicator
and Microsoft's Internet Explorer. If you are using older versions
of these browsers we suggest that you upgrade to the last ones (N4.6x and IE5.x respectively).
- Microsoft Internet Explorer Versions 5.x:
-
Select the fonts that should be used by the browser for the Greek encoding.
Go to: Tools -> Internet Options -> Fonts. Select Greek in the 'Language Script' area.
At the Web-page font select a Greek one you have extracted e.g. Arial Greek and
at the Fixed-width font select Courier New.
-
Select the language that should be used by the browser.
Go to: Tools -> Internet Options -> Languages.
Add the greek language at the list and put it at the top.
-
Select a default encoding.
To do this, you need to select View -> Encoding -> Greek ISO,
or View -> Encoding -> Greek Windows. Also, if the Autoselect option is checked, uncheck it.
- Microsoft Internet Explorer Versions 4.x:
-
Go to: View -> Internet Options -> Fonts.
There, include Greek in the Character Sets area. Click once on 'Greek', then choose
Greek Alphabet (ISO) from the Character Set drop-down menu and then click
on the Set as Default button.
-
You then should change the default fonts for the Proportional font
and the Fixed-width font, to e.g. Arial Greek and Courier New respectively.

-
Select the fonts that should be used by the browser for the Greek encoding.
To do this, you need to select Edit -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Fonts.

and enter fonts such as Arial Greek for the Variable Width Font,
and Courier New for the Fixed Width Font.
For the "Sometimes a document will provide its own fonts." option
select Use document specified fonts, including Dynamic Fonts.
However, if you run across a page that should be in Greek but appears in gibberish,
you might want to try changing this option to Use my default fonts, overriding document-specified fonts.

Select the language that should be used by the browser.
To do this, you need to select Edit -> Preferences -> Navigator -> Languages.
