I don't think this made it through the first time so I'll post it again.

HELP !!!  One of my profs has asked me to look into a problem he is having 
with Wordperfect 5.0 and greek fonts.  I have tried everything I know (which
isn't much) short of actually creating the characters dot by dot.

His request is as follows:

Michael,
I have wordperfect 5.0 which prints an incomplete greek set in
character map set 8 on the HP laserjet series II.  It misses the 
frequently used ones in microbiology, viz: lower case gamma,theta,kappa,
lambda,rho,chi,psi,and omega; upper case delta,pi. 
I want a full set on the laser but also accessible with the same codes 
on my epson LQ-510.  Whats the best solution? 
C.R.B.

His System Setup is: 
 
fujikama turbo 286 w/ 1.2  - 5.25
                   w/ 1.44 - 3.5
monochrome screen
epson LQ-510 (slave) or HP Laserjet Series II (on another PC) 
40 meg hard drive
DOS 4.01

If anyone has a suggestion on how I can go about accessing, creating or
obtaining these fonts within wordperfect 5.0, I would appreciate your insight.

I consider no idea to small if it has a chance of working.

Thank you in advance,

Michael Hogan
