Hey, timechange. This is as good a place as any to ask this (even if it's in English): what font do you use to coreectly view your Greek posts? I always see scrambled characters, and I'm an NT (i.e. double-byte character set) user. Just curious.

Carry on...

Is there any connection between Greek and Geek?

You know what...I posted in another thread that the latest version of vBulletin, 2.2.5 screwed up foreign fonts in quote mode

I am using Windows and have added Greek as the extra language. That pretty much solves it; otherwise add that encoding to the browser default.

Yeah, I'd seen that post; something about PM's, too, right? I don't think it's the case here, just that my system doesn't know what to do with the extra byte information.

That did it! I just changed the encoding to ISO and Windows, and both worked. I'm sure it has to do with the fact that the page as a whole is Western European, but some sections are Greek.

Of course, I still don't understand it (though I took a year of Russian and can at least make out some sounds). I'm just a cat with two of its lives left...

The only Greek I know is transliterated, and goes like this:

Thah ethela enna cafe, parogolo.

Does that make any sense to you?

Any guess why I learned that many, many years ago?

**timechange** · 04-23-2002, 09:00 PM

Ron, because you are a coffee addict?

When was it that you visited Greece, BTW?

Ron · 04-23-2002, 09:43 PM

There was a cute girl behind the counter down the street from where I worked.

I thought that I'd impress her.

So after I asked for "some coffee, please", when she responded with a stream of Greek, I replied:

"Micros".

then after another stream of Greek, I just chuckled and said, "Just cream".

I think she bought it.

But alas, her Dad wasn't as impressed, and I was too shy to ask her out, with her father standing there with that big knife, and all...

I wonder what ever happened to my little kukla...
