The problem does not persist anymore in Dapper or Edgy, closing bug report (a bit overdue the one month I promised).
Now Dapper/Edgy have a default font that has Greek and also the GNOME integration of OOo is better, which solves the writing support issue. ** Changed in: Ubuntu Status: Needs Info => Fix Released -- Problem with greek characters and accents in Openoffice2 beta https://launchpad.net/bugs/25578 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
