As you all know, Wordworth is a great document editor. I have the 7th version installed under AmigaOS 4, but I have serious problems on writing Greek on that. Although I use TTF that I am sure they support Greek, when I change keymap, the characters that are written are not Greek. In case I use fonts that are only Greek, like topazgr, then texts are written just fine, but unfortunately this is not so usefull.

Does anyone use it succesfully for other languages except English? Is there a trick to make it work?

Thank you all for your kind help.

I just find a solution which I tested and worked just fine. I am writing here how this issue can be solved.

Basically, the solution I found is at the package WordWorthEuro.lha at aminet (http://aminet.net/text/dtp/WordWorthEuro.lha). I copy paste here the part that solves the above.

How to use a different font engine with WordWorth 7.01
------------------------------------------------------
It is WWTools/InstallOutlines that normally restricts the
usable font engines to those that come with WordWorth, but
it can be worked around.

WWTools/InstallOutlines scans the path in ENV:WordWorth/WwFonts for the
subdirectories Intellifont, Postscript and Truetype. In the subdirs it
scans the fonts and creates .font and .otag files in the UFST subdir.
The .otag files contain the name of the font engine, either
digitaintellifont, digitapostscript or digitatruetype.

If you replace the .font and .otag file for a font in UFST with versions
created by TTFManager for ttf.library, by T1Manager for type1.library
by Intellifont for bullet.library etc. WordWorth will use e.g. ttf.library
instead of digitatruetype.library for this font :)

Is there anyone out there who got involved in creating a utility that converts a RTF file from wordworth or FInalWriter to anything else?
I am looking to find a way to convert the Greek RTF documents in a unicode format, that Google Docs can read just fine, in cases I want to exchange them with others.
