documents sent by email in Greek... help

[lillianna_fr]

I have to create a leaftet in Greek and the problem is that I have
received by mail the text in greek and my Mac Word doesn't want to
read it ! I have nice little squares.... instead of greek letters.
Please what can I do ? I have tryed to find the good font on the
microsoft web site... but nothing for Mac... only for PC...

Thank you so much for helping me.

There is an old font translator "Font Converter-TTConverter1.5" that
will convert PC fonts to Mac or visa-versa.

If you can't find it, I'll email it to you.
I know it works in OS 9.1 but can't insure anything beyond.

This answer is of no help to the original problem. You don't have the
faintest experience with Greek text or fonts. Please don't answer if
you are clueless.

You didn't specify your version number of MS Word - nor the version of
your operating system.
Ask the sender to save in Rich Text Format (RTF) and apply

Use any program other than MS Word X. Microsoft Word for Mac OS X
is crippled because it supports only the MacRoman character set on
a Unicode operating system. Use, for example, Open Office.
