Address Book fonts - Can I use Greek?
I would like to create an Address Book Group using Greek fonts for the details of the entries. Is this possible with TB? -- Costas mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com

Addressbook uses standard windows fonts. BUT BEWARE. There is an old, very old bug in windows. If you haven't installed greek as default language (during windows setup) it is very difficult to use greek fonts in any window application which uses standard windows fonts. If that's the case and have no deeper knowledge in MS windows you must reinstall them. But *maybe* it is a problem related to The Bat 1.53 (allthough I don't remember having this problem). Perhaps you should download a copy of current beta (1.54Beta25) and try it. You have to rename thebat.exe to thebat-1.53.exe before unpack the current beta. -- /\/\ || George M.

If you cannot write greek there you have problem. Oh! You are right. I cannot write in Greek in the Start | Run input box. I wish I'd known about this a few days ago when I had formatted my PC and reloaded everything from scratch. I would hate to reinstall Windows, as I suspect the CD installation may mess up my Internet Explorer (version 5.0 is on the original CD and I now have version 5.5) and possibly other programs. Is there a shortcut way of solving this problem? Anyway, if I were to reinstall Windows with Greek language as the default, would I be automatically seeing Greek in the Windows title bars and menus? This is something that I don't prefer to have. -- Best regards, Costasmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com

Basically you have to replace some .fon files in your font directory. Unfortunatelly I'm using Win 2000 for a long time and I don't remember what you have to do excactly.

You will see greek nowhere. What you will have is system fonts with greek support. Now you have greek support but NOT system fonts with greek support. Try to search ms knowledge base, maybe they have post a workaround. But WHENEVER YOU INSTALL WINDOWS ALWAYS CHOOSE CUSTOM INSTALL AND ALWAYS CHOOSE GREEK KEYBOARD LAYOUT GREEK LANGUAGE AS DEFAULT.
