>>Anyone with Windows Netscape interested in seeing Greek texts, LSJ and other 
>>sundry tools available on the Perseus Web Page  can now do so. We have a
>>workaround that is not perfect, but does get things going.
>>
>>Thanks to John Baima, we have a workaround so that people with
>>Windows machines can see Greek via Netscape. He has prepared a special
>>font that you can download and then use to see Greek. There are still
>>some oddities: you need to set the Fixed Width Font to his Greek, but 
>>the font really isn't fixed width. The spacing looks odd when you see it,
>>but it *is* Greek and its a good start.
>>
>>You can find the Fixed Width Greek font on John Baima's Silver Mountain
>>Software Homepage:  http://rampages.onramp.net/~jbaima/
>>
>>Once you have installed this and made it the fixed width font for Netscape,
>>you can go to the Perseus home page: http://www.perseus.tufts.edu
>>
>>Once you get to a Greek text, all you need to do is set the transliteration
>>to Greek: our software checks to see if you have a Mac or a Windows 
>>version of Netscape and chooses either the appropriate transliteration 
>>scheme for SMK GreekKeys or John's SGreek.
>>
>>You can start with either the sampe LSJ Entry for fero or the the sample 
>>Agamemnon.
>>
>>We are very interested in seeing how to make this new medium as useful
>>as possible for classicists. *Please feel free to play with the site and to
>>pass this announcement on to anyone else who might be interested.*
