You're mixing apples and oranges here.  There are no "french fonts";
French uses the same alphabet as the rest of the western world, with
accented characters (which are not unique to French).  The standard
fonts on Palm devices already contain symbols for accented characters.
You can put strings containing accented characters in your program and
they will display normally (learning how to type accented characters in
your development environment is left as an exercise for the reader).
You can also write accented characters on the Palm - see the
documentation that comes with the device for details.

Greek, on the other hand, does use a different alphabet, for which there
are no characters in the standard Palm fonts.  There may be 3rd-party
add-ons for Greek characters, but not in the standard OS.
