Hi,
I just noticed that Chromium 16.0.912.63  (on FreeBSD 9.0-RC2 amd64,
and a basic install of Xorg 7.5.1 does not properly display greek characters
(such as &alpha; &beta; and so on)

A simple offending file is this:

	<!DOCTYPE html>
	<body>
	&alpha; &beta; &gamma; &delta; &sigma;
	</body>

and it does work on Firefox 8.0 on the same machine, and on Chrome on OSX,
so i really suspect a bug in chromium and not in the X11 configuration.

Attached (and at http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/doc/20120102-chromium-greek-fonts.gif )
you can see a snapshot of the screen showing how Firefox displays
the characters correctly, while chromium completely fails on the main
window (I cannot map the gliphs to anything i know, but did not try
too hard, either), and fails in a different mode in the "Developer Tools"
window (three chars out of five are shown correctly).

Any ideas on what could be wrong and a possible temporary workaround ?

cheers
luigi
