This may be due to Dreamweaver, too. DW 3 is the first version that fully supports UTF-8 encoding. I don't know if even that version has Unicode turned on by default, but that's what I would check first. You could also use the ISO encoding for Greek instead, I suppose, but then you'd have problems mixing languages. Try setting DW to use UTF-8 encoding - assuming you have a recent version. Make sure, too, that the headers sent from the server identify the site as UTF-8 encoded, and that your FTP is uploading all files as binary, not ASCII.
