I know the symptom Dimitris describes and it is easily solved by 
installing truetype fonts like the webfonts port or your own truetype 
fonts in ~/.fonts
Dimitris you may allso want to check your settings in your shell startup 
scripts i.e. (assuming bash)

export LANG=el_GR.ISO8859-7
or
export LANG=el_GR.UTF-8
