Hey guys,

I have a user that got a mail in greek, but it is all scrabled.

FW: [Fwd: FW: ?t?se?? e??te????? ap? EUR49. ? p??sf??? ?s??e? ??a ???e? ?µ??e? a??µa.]

I have downloaded a couple of fonts, but still can't read the mail. From what I understand, the language packs only changes your menus and stuff to another language.

Obviously it works when you type in afrikaans or any other local language.

What else can I look at?

The legacy SIL greek font might work or the one of the unicode ones...

Thanx Random717, I downloaded it, but am still not able to read the mail in greek. Will it be for only new mails that come in from now on?

Which SKU of Vista are you using? AFAIK I know Ultimate comes with Language Packs.

It should have an effect immediately... though I've seen files get overwritten with an incompatible font and then you can't recover a thing.

Have you tried installing Greek in windows 'Region and Language Settings'?

He is running XP Pro.

I can give it a try, but thought that is for when you want your menus and stuff in greek...

Maybe I should just go with the overwritten story.

If you look at the message source what's in there?
maybe some clues in <meta> tags if that exists.

Font seems to be sans-serif, but that doesn't make sense....
