With Windows XP, Firefox displays the accented Greek fine.
However, IE does not perform as well. IE will display boxes for the accented Greek, unless you set IE's "Plain text font" to one of fonts that include accented Greek. The only such monospaced font IE gives me as an option is Everson Mono Unicode (http://www.evertype.com/emono/), which is shareware for 20 Euros. If anyone knows of a free monospaced extended Greek Unicode font that IE recognizes as a "Plain text font", I and probably many others on this list would be interested.
