Subject:	Re: CCL:greek letters in html

Appart from the spec docs at the W3C site (http://www.w3c.org/), one of the
best sites for HTML help is: http://www.htmlhelp.org/

There you will see that the HTML 4.0 specs call for Greek entities in the DTD
(Document Type Definition), but as most know, the recent browsers only
implement the transitional DTD, so some entities are not supported. The way to
assure that the greek letter will show up as such is to use inline images,
this avoids the problem of assuming that the person viewing the page has the
"Symbol" font installed, and also avoids using the (now) deprecated 
tag.

In the web site mentioned above, there is a link to a collections of glyphs
>from the Unicode organization:

  http://charts.unicode.org/Unicode.charts/normal/Unicode.html

And the images for the Greek set are at the URL:

  http://charts.unicode.org/Unicode.charts/normal/U0370.html

Hope this helps.
