However, neither firefox nor thunderbird displays greek fonts properly. Firefox displays some (not all) greek pages with arabic characters when utf8 encoding is used. When i switch to other encodings i see incomprehensible characters. Thunderbird displays all greek mail subjects with arabic characters even though the body displays greek characters properly.

I just spent this some time this morning on almost the same problem. I was writing some math stuff and trying to get Greek html entities to display correctly (e.g. Σ). It is amazing how much time something like this can take up. >From Firefox, View, Character Encoding, More Encodings, Western European, Greek(ISO 8859-7) worked for me. I also installed every port with font in the name. I am not sure if installing the fonts helped or not. This is a second best solution as changing to this character encoding messes up the kerning on normal text. I agree that this problem is new to 4.2 and was not a problem on 4.1. -=- jk
