Mac OS 9 does not support Greek. Only Symbol font can display Greek
characters, and it does not contain accented Greek characters.

If you are certain that you used to be able to see accented Greek
characters, then you must have installed a Greek font at some time, and now
either your font has become corrupt, or it has been deleted.
