Technically NewtonOS stores data in Unicode.

This is another problem.
You need:
- a font displaying the characters in Unicode. I haven't found any
correct Greek characters font, although there is a screen shot of one
used in NewtWorks in an Apple's doc on Unicode.
- an input method for non-roman characters. There are some for
Chinese, Japanese, Russian, but I don't know any for greek (and I'm
interested as well).
There is a keyboard and fonts for several eastern language, I think.
Cf the FAQ for the links.
Also, I don't think that Newton Press can successfully handle
something different from MacRoman, but I'd love to be proved wrong.
