The Symbol font (one of the core Windows fonts) includes the standard Greek
alphabet, at least the common letters used in mathematics, in the order that
corresponds to the English alphabet (a = alpha, b = beta, etc.).

Most common Unicode fonts, such as Arial, include a larger selection of Greek
characters, including ones with accents. But because they're in a section of the
font outside the normal keyboard characters, they're harder to use. See
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Genera...tSpecChars.htm for help with this.

The best solution is to get an actual Greek font. Look at
http://www.google.de/search?q=greek+font+download&hl=en for a selection of sites
that offer such fonts.
