Oops, I now see.  I haven't notice the difference of font
names in Werner's and mine.

Intlfonts contains these Greek fonts:
        -ETL-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--14-140-72-72-C-70-ISO8859-7
        -ETL-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--16-160-72-72-C-80-ISO8859-7
        -ETL-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--24-240-72-72-C-120-ISO8859-7
they are all correct.

Xfntgreek package contains this font:
        -ETL-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--24-170-100-100-C-120-ISO8859-7
which is different from any of intlfonts' fonts, and is broken.

Right?  :-(

Hmmm, then, should we register the Greek font in xfntgreek
package in face-ignored-fonts?  Or, are there any chance
that the package is fixed soon?
