Qt uses Unicode.
It maps greek fonts normally into another area of the fontmap than latin1.
But because we do want to have latin1 and the greek chars are not mapped 
internally to latin1 but to iso8859-7 we do get normal latin1 characters 
(probably Helvetica).
Greek fonts are mapped into another rea than latin1 fonts, so we get the wron 
characters.

I'm no expert in this area, sorry for my bad explanation. At least it this 
what a man from TrollTech told me.
