Most of the non-latin pages don't announce the charset the document is in,
and according to the RFCs such document should be treated as ISO-8859-1.
Lynx does so. If you want to override this, use the -assume_charset
iso-8859-7 command line flag or ASSUME_CHARSET:iso-8859-7 in your
lynx.cfg. And set your Display Character Set in the Options menu to.. oh
no, the table for CP-737 or 869 isn't in current lynx code - yet.
You have to wait until the greek codepage is there, or, if your want to
contribute to lynx, write the table yourself. It isn't that hard, I can
give you the guidelines.. Mail me personally if you are interested.
