[B-Greek] testing my new tool

David,

I don't think the problem is with IE7 per se.  When I accessed Jeffrey's
posting in the archives using IE7, the Greek text displays correctly (albeit
in two very long lines rather than wrapping).

As you note, UTF-8 encoding is required.  There is some preparatory Windows
setup work that is required to get the proper default behaviour, but it's
been a long time since I did that, so I can't advise you.  There are some
web resources on how to set up a Windows system for Unicode Greek.  I found
these to be helpful when I set up my system:

http://www.stoa.org/unicode/

http://faculty.bbc.edu/rdecker/unicode.htm (link still works, but Rod has a
newer website)

http://www.biblicalgreek.org/links/fonts/keyboard.html
 
Hope this helps.

Hi Jeffrey
In IE7, the text comes up as gibberish, unless I set it to UTF-8 [Unicode].
But I can't figure out how to set this as a default. Does anyone know if it
is possible? I'd love to know how, if so, please.
