so converting Christos new Greek .tbl with a bin->src converter, and
adding a GK (or greek) forlder to "tools/mktbl/keyboards/" should do
the trick

there are (TTF) fonts that are GNU, presuming FreeMiNT is also GPL
compliant. if not, now is a good time to formalize "compaibity" with
other (open source) licencing, to simplify future additions of
non-specific content (which there will be)

If Greek was added to kernel support, it would be a good time to call
for other languages currently not included.. it is by no means
complete.. provided there is someone to provide the requirements, and
verify there use

In this line of thinking, what are the possibilities for non-european
languages (read: Asian, and "other")
