Greek seems to be handled by mapping from the Symbol font – Greek characters (without diacritics) and various mathematical symbols can be displayed without installing any Language Kits. An Icelandic Language Kit is available for Mac OS 9. A Thai Language Toolkit is available for Mac OS 9; it costs 500 Baht and is available from Apple dealers in Thailand, including some in Panthip Plaza on Petchaburi Road in Bangkok, or by mail order from Thai Toolkit software for Apple Macintosh. Apple warns against installing Language Kits on Mac OS 9 that were intended for earlier versions of the operating system.

You may like to compare your browser’s ability to display the Samples of Unicode character ranges before and after installing the Language Kits, and to try the effect of changing the encoding from the View menu, using the option called either Character Coding, Character Set or Text Encoding.
