FreeBSD and Greek support
Hello, I use FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p1 i386 with custom kernel, xfce4 for gui and firefox (everything is installed using ports) for my desktop computer. I recently found this article http://www.freebsd.org/doc/el_GR.ISO8859-7/articles/greek-language-support/a rticle.html, applied the settings and installed 'ports/x11-fonts/urwfonts' and everything is in Greek now. I have a problem though when viewing web pages that are encoded with el_GR, there are spaces among the letters and it is really ugly. Well, these spaces existed before making the changes that the article suggests. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

I You don't really need specifically the urwfonts collection, since any TTF font works fine in X11. The webfonts collection should work too, I guess. have a problem though when viewing web pages that are encoded with el_GR, there are spaces among the letters and it is really ugly.
