My machine came with three greek TTF fonts. Two of them (greekc__.ttf
and greeks__.ttf) work correctly in POV, and one (versafontgk.ttf)
produces the effect you mention but also produces warning messages like 
"Character 67 (Ox43) not found in c:\windows\fonts\\versafontgk.ttf"
for each character in the text string.
