Hi Pietro,

Thanks for the pointer, but I was aware of the Hellenic HOWTO.

It is, however, desperately out of date: August 1997.

Also, the solutions suggested therein are mostly non-standard.  For
example, there are dedicated software packages for the Greek keyboard, but
I am aware that X comes with its own standard mechanism for installing
alternative keyboard maps.

I am sure that the Debian community, with its predilection for standards
adjerence and up-to-date-ness, has built much better Greek support into
woody's internationalisation than the non-standard, out-of-date hacks
suggested in the Hellenic HOWTO.  The stuff must be in the distribution
somewhere; I just can't find where.

Best regards,
