What do you mean you can't type the accented characters?
???????
I just typed those with the Greek keyboard setting.
If you are on a US/British keyboard and change the setting to Greek you can
then type each character in 2 keystrokes. The accent is done with the ; key
and you then press the other character key to create the accented character.
