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.

On XP, I think you probably have Lucida Sans Unicode and Arial Unicode
MS pre-installed - at least I do.
SIL Galatia Unicode is a nice font that is also freely available:
