Question 2, about Mac OS localization
Advertisement
Responses
I was born and raised in Greece but for the past 25 years I’ve lived in the US. I’ve always used Macs.
I support the greek localization project and I congratulate you for your efforts.
However my personal needs are much less ambitious and forgive me if this is the wrong place to raise them. 95% of what I do is in English so I wouldn’t want to change the OS on my computer to Greek.
All I’m trying to do is WRITE Greek. I used to be able to in 0S9 but not in OSX. I can read greek on websites just fine which tells me I must have the necessary fonts but when I try to fill out a form on the web or write an e-mail, my letters come out in latin. Even after I change the keyboard in the menu bar to Greek. I use the latest versions of Firefox, Safari, Thunderbird, Apple Mail and Tiger.
Could you please point me to a link that addresses this issue? I consider myself a sophisticated computer user but this issue has me stumped for years.

Support for the Greek language (read and write) is in Mac OS X by default.
The only you need for writing in Greek is Greek fonts.
These are available in the web in many places.
For example,

or

or

Please let me know if it helped you.
