Hi Dimitris,
you may have noticed FontSlant->"Italic" in your expression. Changing
this to FontSlant->"Plain" changes the Latin characters but not the
Greek one's. This leads to the conclusion that in the font used, plain
and italic Greek characters share the same definition. I tried the
fonts: Courier,Times,Helvetica with the same result.
Another observation is that not all Greek characters are slanted, e.g.
eta is not.
