I have some txt files containing greek characters, how can I read them @Ubuntu?

When I am opening one of the files I am getting these "Äåõôåñåýùí".

Here is a text file zipped and uploaded at rapidshare.

When opening with gedit, you can chose the encoding. Your file might be in iso-8859-7 (greek) or windows-1253 encoding. Maybe one of it will work.

If you get the chance in windows: while saving the file select utf-8 encoding. This is universal and should be readable on all platforms in all countries.
