Thanks to Ireney and Greg we found a solution to the Greek fonts that don't appear on the screen: You have to change your ISO encoding from Western Europe to Greek, or like Greg said "try manually switching your browser encoding to either Greek ISO-8859-7 or Greek Windows-1253 -- either one should resolve any viewing problems."
Hopefully it works for you.

Geia sas !
I just wanted to say that I think it could be possible to make the greek characters appear automatically in any browser, without having to change the parameters of the encoding manually.
To do so, the website should use the UTF-8 encoding. Here is the technical trick : You have to add
| QUOTE |
| <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> |
between the <head> and </head> tags of the webpages. It should work ! That would make it much easier for everybody. Hope this can help.
Unfortunately, I can't guarantee that messages that already have been sent will display correctly, but new ones should appear correctly.

Γειά σας!
SweedyMick is very correct.
There is also sometimes an issue with webservers not being set up correctly to use Greek fonts, which I've come across before.

Since I don't know how to do this alone, I will have to wait until our technical support is home and has some time, I hope that will be soon. ;)
