Hi John,
Thanks for the interest. The problem that DVI viewer doesn't show greek
letters correctly (shows diffrerent greek letters) happens when I type in
the .tex file the actual symbols of Windows screen font. I tried a .tex file
with $\alpha, \beta$ in a line and DVI viewer showed the greek letters
correctly.
I tried a solution that was proposed in some info pages, i.e. I put at
the beginning of the .tex file the line
%& -translate-file=win2tex.tcx
where win2tex.tcx was a file prepared by me with the mappings of Windows'
character codes to TeX's character codes. It worked correctly for the first
few letters when I was testing it, but then it crashed because it was
affecting TeX (TeX showed a message that it was unable to find a file - the
name of the file had a greek letter because of my mappings). A possible
reason for TeX's crashing is that TeX used the command \inputenc somewhere
which doesn't work together with a .tcx file, according to the same info
pages.
