The greek characters or at least most of them sit above the 8-bit asci table that the atari provides in the newer encodings. For this to work we'd have to make an extension of the table to 16-bit.

there are some TTF fonts specifi= cally designed for screen output, at
low point (not including Tahoma), s= ome are open source, there will be
at least a couple that fit the bill. I suggested TTF because fVDI can
lo= ad them.

But Christos needs a 8x16 pixel bitmap f= ont to replace the system font. I don' think a TTF-conversion would be = too successful.

Christos - if your current font has the characters you need but not in = the right place, I suggest using a simple GDOS font editor and move the cha= racters around. Then post the keyboard table and font to this list.

That's not exactly the problem. The greek characters or at least m= ost of them sit above the 8-bit asci table that the atari provides in the n= ewer encodings.
For=A0this to work we'd have to make an extension of the table to = 16-bit.
