Re: ICU website
I see them correctly. The problem is the font; the standard Arial/Times don't contain all the Greek characters; notably the polytonic. Since I use Arial Unicode MS as my default browser font, they appear to me. Any other font that had a full repertoire of Greek would serve as well. (It would be convenient, of course, if Microsoft were to include a full set of Greek in their Arial/Times.) Among such fonts, there is Palatino Linotype (unless MD is using combining diacriticals; I haven't noticed), which comes bundled in Windows 2K and XP. Others include James Kass's Code2000, David Perry's Cardo, Ralph Hancock's Vusillus, and Jeffrey Rusten's Athena Unicode, which are all inexpensive shareware or freeware. For the record, I'm getting the Margites quote quite well when I switch my encoding of the digest messages over to UTF-8 in OE 5.5 / Windows 98 SE with Arial Unicode MS (provided by Office 2K); and I am quite jealous that Mark Davis is using it, precluding me from doing so. I feel like Margites nearly every day, especially when eavesdropping on this list. [The original quote is basically he knew many skills, but knew them all badly - erga is one of those hard-to-translate words, it means basically work in the most broad sense, while skills is a better translation of tekhne, which is not used in the Margites fragment - probably one of the opening lines of the lost Homeric parody *The Margites*, attributed to Homer in antiquity; MD's newer quote is know yourself, which was inscribed on the Temple to Apollo at Delos.] Patrick Rourke [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: ICU website
The ICU website continues to be at http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/
I suppose that there was a temporary networking problem somewhere.
The fact that you sometimes see internal machine names like www-124 or www-126 is due
to some misconfiguration. The ICU team does not itself control the server
configuration.
Most of the time, you can avoid seeing these internal machine names by using trailing
slashes ('/') at the end of URLs like above.

Wait until we can find out what happened. It was not supposed to change.
