GEIA SOU KAT     Γεια σου Κατ

Why not use Window 98 or XP's built-in support for this?  It has both 
monotonic and polytonic Greek support built in, with an indicator on the 
taskbar, and you can switch with Alt-Shift between languages.  Just go 
to control panel in XP, Regional and Language Options, Languages tab, 
and click Details and add the type of Greek support you want.  Many of 
us use this on B-Greek when we add Unicode versions of what we're 
transliterating (for shorter sections, for long quotes cut and paste 
from some place like my site with Unicode texts).  It works everywhere 
too, I often use it to send emails in Unicode Greek or type in chat 
sessions in Unicode Greek.
