 Wouldn't you qualify as North America?
 
 Is Canada in northamerica?
 
 On another note, it's kinda funny that the site for EU patents uses pics
 of the statue of liberty...

 Why not, isn't  the original is in Paris.

The statue was designed and made in France as a gift to the US.  It was 
assembled in France for a world fair for exhibition and fund raising 
purposes.  The group involved had many problems funding the project in France 
as well as in the US.  It was not until a New York paper picked up the banner 
and started publishing a series of articles on the statue that the funds were 
raised, literally shaming the US into action.  The word donation leaves an 
impression of either used or leftover.

[newbie] Mozilla fonts

[Jess Arocho]

In Kmail I can type accented characters, for example , , or .  Can mozilla 
be set up to accept such keyboard entries?  I tried changing the character 
set to Unicode in preferences but it did not help.

Re: [newbie] need help with greek!

[arocho]

Mandrake 9.1 does support UNICODE.  I have my installation set for UTF-8, CODE2000 and 
SILGREEK fonts, and xwg, a keyboard handler.  The keyboard program was prepared by a 
professor of classical greek at the Moscow univ.  Xwg will map the keyboard from US to 
polytonic greek and back.  It allows for entry of polytonic characters: accents, 
circumflex, etc.  Of course you must have the appropriate font.  The new version of 
OpenOffice (wordprocessor and spreadsheet) will work with well with UNICODE; two 
months ago it did not.  Postgresql will also accept the characters.

 Manolis,
 
 Seems that the majority of people here don't use Greek.  Is there a Linux
 group in your area that you can direct this towards?  You might get better
 help with an answer there.
 
 Here is a list of LUGs in Greece:

   Hi guys!
  
   After my installation of mandrake 9.1 I have one little problem.
   I use the greek keyboard but I cannot enter punctuation  notation
  marks on
   vowels.
   for example I can write Γεια σου but if Itry to put a tone in
  the ι
   with the : key and then the i key, I get no character.
   The problem exists in all the programs. I did not had the same problem
