NAME

       Greek, greek - Introduction to Greek language support

DESCRIPTION

       This reference page describes the codeset, locale, device, and other kinds of support for the Greek language.

   Codesets
       The operating system supports the following coded character sets (codesets) for Greek: ISO 8859-7 (ISO Latin/Greek)

	      ISO8859-7  is  the  string  that	represents  this codeset in the names of locales and codeset converters. Refer to iso8859-7(5) for
	      information on the ISO Latin/Greek codeset.  PC code-page formats (supported through codeset converters only)

	      cp737, cp869, and cp1253 are the strings that represent these encoding  formats  in  the	names  of  codeset  converters.  Refer	to
	      code_page(5)  for  information on PC code pages.	UCS-2, UCS-4, and UTF-8 encoding formats (file data supported through codeset con-
	      verters only)

	      UCS-2, UCS-4, and UTF-8 are the strings that represent these encoding formats in the names of  codeset  converters.  Refer  to  Uni-
	      code(5) for information on these encoding formats.

       See  the  i18n_intro(5)	and l10n_intro(5) reference pages for introductory information on codesets. The iconv_intro(5) reference page dis-
       cusses codeset converters and how to use them.

   Locales
       The operating system provides the following Greek locale: el_GR.ISO8859-7, for Greece

	      This locale is also available under the name el_GR.ISO8859-7@ucs4 for applications that need to convert data between ISO8859-7  file
	      format and UCS-4 process code for character classification operations.

       You can use the locale command (see locale(1)) to find out if this locale is installed on your system. See i18n_intro(5) for information on
       setting locale from the operating system command line.

       For the Common Desktop Environment (CDE), you set locale by setting the session language. To do this, use the Language menu  accessed  from
       the Options button on the Login window.

   Keyboards
       The operating system supports the following VT style and PC style keyboards for Greek:

       ----------------------------------------------
       VT Style (105/108 keys)	 PC Style (102 keys)
       ----------------------------------------------
       Greek LK401		 LK444
       LK411			 LK471-BH
       LK461			 LK97W-BH
       Greek LK471		 PCXAL-HH
				 PCXAL-LH
       ----------------------------------------------

       For your keyboard to function correctly with your system, you must load a keyboard mapping table (keymap) that is appropriate for your key-
       board's model and language. If you load a keymap that does not correspond to your keyboard's model and language, your keyboard behavior	is
       unpredictable.  The label located on the bottom surface of a keyboard usually specifies its model (five letter code) and language (two let-
       ter code). See the keyboard(5) reference page for general information on keymaps and instructions for loading them  in  different  formats.
       The following tables supply Greek-specific information that you need when loading keymaps.

       Selecting keymaps in xkb format:

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       For VT Style		For PC Style
       Keyboard:      Select:	Keyboard:      Select:
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       LK401 Greek    lk401	LK444	       lk444 or lk44x
       LK411	      lk411	LK471-BH       lk471bh or lk471
       LK461	      lk461	LK97W-BH       lk97wbh or lk97w
				PCXAL-HH       pcxalhh

				PCXAL-LH       pcxallh
       ---------------------------------------------------------

       Keyboards can have keys with characters printed on both the left and right half of the keycap. The way you set or use your keyboard to send
       different sets of characters varies from one keyboard model to another. Furthermore, your keyboard allows you to enter more characters than
       those printed on the keycaps. Refer to the keyboard(5) reference page for information on how to enter characters.

   Printers
       For information on setting up and configuring printers for non-English text, refer to the i18n_printing(5) reference page.

       PostScript fonts available for languages supported by the ISO 8859-7 codeset are listed on the iso8859-7(5) reference page.
