Hello, When I download a file that a Window user has uploaded and contains a .txt file with greek inside it, I cannot read it (the words look like chinese) . Is there any command out there or something I can do for this? Thx in advance!

Well, you could install Greek language support. Just go to System->Administration->Language Support.
Nothing seem to happen
Am I a bad person if I decide to bump this?
I stopped having this problem because all my friends switched to Linux, but now, in university, there are plenty of persons using Windows and I have to co-operate with them.
I cannot read the txt files they generate in Notepad containing Greek characters. I have installed the Greek Language Support and I've set the Gedit's language to Greek.
The problem persists.
No difference at all:
Thanks for trying to help !
most likely encoding issue
utf8 (linux) vs windows-1253 (windows)
Open file via File->Open... and set win-1253 as the encoding to be used.
