[comp.sys.sgi] GREEK CHARACTER-SET UNDER THE FONT MANAGER

GRDEMO@CDCCENTR.BITNET (LAKIS PRIFTIS GREATH) (06/15/90)

       HELLO,

       HERE  IN ATHENS WE ARE WORKING ON OUR 4D WORKSTATION TRYING  TO
       CREATE  A GREEK FONT THAT COULD BE USED UNDER THE WSH.  WHAT WE
       ARE  ACTUALLY  TRYING TO DO IS TO CREATE AN 8-BIT  BITMAP  FONT
       (BDF  ADOBE FORMAT) THAT COULD BE CONVERTED INTO .FM FORMAT AND
       USED  BY THE WSH.  THIS FONT IS SIMILAR TO THE STANDARD ENGLISH
       FONTS  THAT ARE AVAILABLE IE.  THE LOWER 128 CHARACTERS OF  THE
       ASCII  SET  ARE  COVERED BY THE ENGLISH CHARACTER SET  AND  THE
       UPPER  128  CHARACTERS  OF  THE SET ARE COVERED  BY  THE  GREEK
       ALPHABET.

       TO  USE  THIS  FONT  UNDER  THE WSH(TYPE  IN  GREEK  USING  THE
       KEYBOARD)  WE HAVE TO CREATE A MECHANISM TO TOGGLE BETWEEN  THE
       LOWER  AND THE UPPER PARTS OF THE ASCII SET SO THAT WE CAN TYPE
       IN GREEK AND IN ENGLISH AS WELL.

       WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THE START-UP SCRIPTS WHICH ARE SAVED IN
       THE  /USR/NEWS/LIB/NEWS DIRECTORY.  IN THE MANUALS THAT WE HAVE
       IT  IS REFERED THAT THE BINDKEY.PS PROGRAM DOES THE BINDING  OF
       THE KEYBOARD.

       IS THE ANYONE WHO HAS ANY IDEA ABOUT THE SUBJECT ?

       THANKS IN ADVANCE,
