Hi!

It works fine here [1], what encoding do you use to save the text file?
I am from Greece, so it happens that i browse content with Greek
letters a lot. :)

I will try to setup a VM the the minimum packages required to run
chrome, maybe we miss a dependency that happens to be installed anyway
with KDE / Gnome or whatever.
