What is the codepage in DbGrid.Font? I believe
that the problem lies now in VCL area.

If your system
hasn't as default the Greek Locale
and you haven''t defined
the GREEK_charset in DbGrid.Font.charset property
the described behaviour is very possible as VCL
displays don't support unicode.

Try set the GREEK_CHARSET value in DbGrid.Font.charset

IS easy to have both English and Greek chars the same time in the same grid. What is really very difficult is to display in the same
grid Greek, and par example German or French chars. In this case
you have to use unicode controls

I use Firebird with Greek characters in all platforms
Win9x, Win2000, Nt4WKS, XP

when i run CREATE DATABASE I DON'T use
CODEPAGE WIN1253 on Interbase 6.x and Firebird
and it works ok with Borland's TDBGrid
If I create with CODEPAGE WIN1253 I experience the same problems
For Interbase 5.x I think you have to create with CODEPAGE WIN1253
