From a quick search i didn't find the issue. I refer to the problem with
greek fonts. When the user types something in Greek OO.o frequently takes
the characters from a font which doesn't have the suitable characters with
very very very ugly results.

You can see the problem here:

Note how different 1 and 2 are. The first misses characters and even the
ones which appear are very ugly.

The ugly fonts appear even in OO.o's GUI.



Does installing DejaVu fonts make any difference for you ?

There aren't a lot of good greek-coverage (as opposed to fonts which
include some greek characters for math-coverage purposes) But DejaVu
apparently has some good coverage there.

  

How about the Gentium font then at:

 Could you pleas give some more details what you mean by this?
 Does this refer to an issue or something else on openoffice.org?
 
 Currently I'm a little bit lost... :-)

I take the liberty to forward the mail to François, because he doesn't
seem to be subscribed (mail was delivered to moderator).

Ciao,

Congratulations!

The plugin seems to be nice and I'll try it later.

His article is also excellent and readable. I hope many programmers
start UNO programming reading this article, so I'll translate it into
Japnaese.
