Dan,
I started using WinXP in March and I loaded the SPIonic font which works
fine in greek texts writen in that computer. When I get squares is when I
try to read a greek text writen or changed in some computers on Windows 98
(yes, only in some computers). Indeed, neither I can read those greek texts
on Mac (Classic): on Mac I don't see squares but nothing in spite of having
installed SPIonic font long ago. I really don't know what to do.
Thanks once more,

David Lucas
