> based on an anonymous testimony of someone who essentially maybe the type of person using 100 words to communicate and does no bother knowing how to type an accented Greek character as he/she uses Greeklish in everyday life. Insults are not appropriate in this forum. You will keep your tone civil or not discuss things at all. --- There are *many* world languages not supported directly by this spec; the group made an intentional choice to only mandate support for the styles that were originally defined in CSS 2.1 (of which `lower-greek` was one, implemented as a particular variant of the greek lowercase alphabet), and a few other styles that can't be done properly by the extension mechanism. *You* can use that extension mechanism - the `@counter-style` rule defined by the spec - to define your own counter style matching whatever language conventions you want. The Internationalization WG maintains a document of example `@counter-style` rules for many world languages at <http://w3c.github.io/predefined-counter-styles/>, including [several modern Greek styles](http://w3c.github.io/predefined-counter-styles/#greek-styles), so you might not even have to figure out how to write one on your own, just copy-paste from that document. Note that currently `@counter-style` is only implemented by Firefox. Make sure to use a fallback built-in style for other browsers until they support it. (Or file bugs on them to encourage them to implement support!) -- GitHub Notification of comment by tabatkins Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/135#issuecomment-222031181 using your GitHub account
