I upgrated to latest sugar-jbuild and i greek layout works in activities like abiword of konsole, but under etoys i only get ????? when i try to insert greek uft8 chars. So i guess the utf8 support of squeak does not work "out of the box" :(
As mentioned several times before, no, Etoys does not have greek glyphs in its fonts. This is a font problem, not an encoding problem.
Does the eToys image have the ability to load True Type (preferrably unicode) fonts?
We also did discuss that before. Squeak's TTF importer discards code points > 255. Again, here is a hack around this:

And because it is a terribly inefficient hack, Yoshiki has not yet pushed it into the official image. He's the one working on font/m17n issues.
