Ultimately for a browser (like Internet Explorer, Netscape, Mozilla) to
render text, the font must already be available on the client's (student's)
machine. The same goes for most any other program that displays text (e.g.
MS Word) -- it can only display text using available fonts. Unless your
students already happen to have a UTF font installed, they are going to have
to install one.
The world is slowly moving towards UTF (to replace ASCII), and more and more
machines will already have a UTF font installed for various reasons. But
it's not a given yet -- especially Aunt Millie's Windows 98 machine running
IE 4.2 that one of your students is using at home.
Accentless Greek is already available on practically any machine because the
Greek alphabet is part of symbol character sets (handy for math, etc.)

huh?
I have a document and it uses greek parse for the greek font. I want to
convert it to UTF so I can upload it to the school website and students can
use it without having to install a new font.
Thanks
