ASCII won't help. It's a 7-bit standard with only 128 characters. What you're looking for is ANSI, with 256 characters, including most Western European character sets (umlauted characters for German, diacriticals for French, etc.)I just found. Greek is giving me problems. I was going through the archives and some say using embedded adjusted greek fonts would do but this hasn't worked out for me. I guess there's no quick solution then unless going through custom made conversions. (ascii-wise). Anyone?
If you're wanting to display Greek on an English system (or any that uses code page 1252--German, French, Italian, etc.), you will need to create a custom font that uses code page 1252, but has Greek characters in the high ANSI range (> 127), and embed that.
In fact, you'll probably need to make Mac and Windows versions of the font. Check out Fontographer.
If you want it to work on Greek systems as well, you'll need to find or create a Greek font that has Greek characters for code pages 1252 and 1253.
Cordially,
Kerry Thompson
