Welcome to LQ!!

How to write Greek in the terminal? Some will say that the BASH language looks like Greek, but I doubt if that's what you meant...;) I think the answer lies in setting the Locale for your system. Look at /etc/locale

Viewing of photos, videos, etc. requires X-Windows (or equivalent). For one example of a terminal command, look at "display" (part of the ImageMagick package).

I saw a big Greek thread on the Arch linix forum sometime ago... Here it is

Actually, no. :) There are console image viewing programs, like zgv, for example, that use svgalib, and MPlayer can show videos in console, using framebuffer...

I stand corrected....

Would svgalib work with ImageMagick "display"?

Well, there's fbi http://linux.bytesex.org/fbida/ and FIM https://www.autistici.org/dezperado/
fbv http://s-tech.elsat.net.pl/fbv/
iiviewer http://sourceforge.net/projects/iiview
and of course, zgv http://www.svgalib.org/rus/zgv/

I'm pretty sure, ImageMagick can not work without X.
