Adam,

was just about to volunteer for Greek... Yes, a quick glance at 
greek-antt.enc reveals that it seems to be a variation on iso-latin-7; 
it contains ASCII in the upper 128 bits and monotonic Greek in the 
lower half. This seems to be the standard for TeX users in Greece, it 
cannot be used for polytonic Greek. If the fonts are available AND 
contain Greek Extended (I haven't seen them yet), I would volunteer to 
cook up an encoding that would correspond to our enco-agr, would that 
be a useful thing to have?

Best

Thomas
