[bt-devel] again: Font problems

I hope I understood the problem with the fonts correctly.

A normal greek font should have the charset iso8859-7, which is the charset 
for Greece.
But all the fonts we have were made using the charset iso8859-1, which is our 
latin1. The greek characters are mapped to characters of latin1 (pressing a 
gives alpha, b->beta etc.).

I'm not usre why changing the charset in the config files gives greek again, 
but obviously this is a problem with the fonts. They use wrong charsets 
(should be 8859-7), so this is probably the reason.
