I _suspect_ that the 'Symbol' font has been used for the Greek characters. (Could you check that?) And the Symbol font is not installed by default. It's not in OO.o's font drop-down list, right? It's not in msttcorefonts either. So, you would have to get symbol.ttf from some Windows installation, and install it just by putting it into /usr/local/share/fonts or into ~/.fonts . I think it _prints_ fine because Cups has a font named Symbol in /usr/share/cups/fonts. AFAICS, it's not meant for display on screen. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
