Which redesigned website, by the way, is one of the most compelling web
publications I've seen.  (& I see a LOT of them).  The design is clean,
distinguished (& so distinguishable) without being distracting; the HTML is
clean, and the use of the Perseus fonts feature nicely unobtrusive.  I was
able to read it easily on Windows in Netscape 3 and Opera 5 with the SGreek
font, in
Internet Explorer 6(beta) and Netscape 4.76  with Unicode and Arial
Unicode MS, in Mozilla 2001040304 with Unicode (with Times New Roman,
somehow - explanations offlist), and in Mosaic 3, Amaya 4.3.2, and HotJava
with Latin transliteration (and I'm sure it would look fine in those and
Lynx with Beta Code).

It's just terrific to see a true web-based journal which supports standards
so well, and which gives the reader real Greek.
