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 --oyUTqETQ0mS9luUI--
