I've noticed that NeoBook, and presumably VisualNeo, has a hard time reading extended characters in at least the Arial font. That is, anything beyond the standard 256 ASCII characters.
If I select Greek characters within the Arial font, it returns only question marks (?). Visually, in a text box object, using a font that displays your Greek alphabet within the first 256 characters, this should work out fine. Internally though, I would think the Greek characters would have to correspond to the correct code it's searching for. I really have only a vague understanding of this sort of thing but you might consider the font you're using(?). If you look at a dingbat font, they are merely little pictures stuck in the same spot as a letter, number or punctuation.I doubt this helps you in your situation but I hope it gives a little insight. I'd love to try and duplicate the problem and maybe help find a solution if you'd like to share the HTML.
