I followed those instructions, then did the following test: ./x03c -dev png -o text.png -drvopt text,smooth,24bit The Greek letter theta in the title has been turned into K, i.e., apparently Greek letters don't work with your default set of fonts. (To be fair that is also true of the msttcorefonts [AFAIK], but I want to see this "Greek" problem solved rather than arguing any more about what is default and what is not.) Can you confirm that problem? Those fonts are supposed to be in UCS (I assume UCS-4) order so it may just be that our greek symbol algorithm needs a different offset to find the Greek symbols for UCS-ordered fonts.
