To get characters that you do not have on your keyboard, you use the
compose key followed by two characters. For example:
Compose followed by e ` will give you h.
Compose followed by e ` will give you i.
Compose followed by a e will give you f.
I guessed compose followed by p i will give you pi, but I was
wrong. I can't find where it is documented, but if you do not get
a response by Monday, let me know and I will get the answer for you.

There are two different Greek character sets (i) ISO standard, (ii)
ELOT928.
The ELOTE928 standard is a common one in Greece (I used to work for a
Greek
company) and even terminals are modified to have an Elot928 font mode.
However to display this correctly under X will probably require a
special
X font (I don't know if any exist). And to print it will probably
require
downloading an ELOT font to the printer as well :-( With a translation
map
you can "pretend" on a postscript printer by mapping characters to the
Symbol
font equivalents. It's adequate.
