It was solved. I just report it here in case it is useful to others. It turned out to be a problem with the language environment.
Previously, the language environment was detected to be Chinese although my system-default language is English. The preferred charset for Greek letters was then set to a Chinese charset, which leads to wrong widths I guess. After I set the language environment to utf8 in the init file, everything works fine. PS: sorry for duplicated emails, forgot to "reply all" in the first reply.
