Dimitris,

Yes and no. Stata doesn't support Unicode, which if I'm not mistaken
requires two bytes for each character. It will, however, support older
fonts that need only one byte per character. You may know these
as "extended ascii" fonts that make use of the ascii codes above 128
through 256. DOS non-ascii fonts can be displayed, for example.
I can't help you much beyond this because my experience is in getting Stata
to display Cyrillic. Same basic problem, and solve-able, so I'm pretty
sure you can do it with Greek.
Hope this helps.
