XAIREIN,

I am back on an XP machine (ServicePack2) and trying to remember the fastest
way to set the Internet Explorer to recognize composed-Greek unicode.

(Yes, Greek is already activated in the "Language" section of the Control
Panel, "Polytonic Greek" is one of the activated keyboard input devices, and
the keyboard works in other programs.) In Explorer on this Gmail site it
produces little boxes whenever a 'phthongos', 'perispomenos' or 'bareia' is
typed with a vowel. Obviously, it is interpreting unicode Greek, but doing
so monotonally. And also obviously, the keyboard is functioning properly and
outputting composite Greek unicode, since little boxes appear on the site as
viewed thru Internet Explorer.

Bottom line--what is the fastest way to configure XP to recognize composite
Greek unicode,
and if a particular font needs to be chosen and specified somewhere, which
unicode font already works?
(e.g., Arial Unicode MS, should work, interalia.)
