can't add a language


hi
i want to access some greek web page using the web browser Firefox.When i go it shows me all the letters like Προ Προ.
So i suppose that i havent installed the greek fonts. I went to add a language from Control Center->Country/Region&Language but when i press Add Language it shows me only U.S Language.
Whats the proper way you think to install a language/fonts(e.g Greek ) on my system?
Thanx in advance

Take a look at the kdei directory (at least that what it's called on the FTP site). Might be different on CD2 though, but should still be fairly obvious.


Cheers,
Eddie

You must have the greek locale installed. Take a look here for details.

When I view russian pages (they use cyrillic alphabet) in Firefox, I set /view/character_encoding to required language and everything works fine in firefox.
