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
