Which vera font? I just looked up http://google.gr/ in Firefox & pasted the text into a terminal using Bitstream Vera Sans Mono & don't see any missing letters. Nor do I if I set the font to Bitstream Vera Sans or Serif, or Bitstream Charter.

Odd thing is if I use hget or curl to get the page I get a lot of nulls. The page is encoded in utf-8 so I don't know what the google.gr servers might be doing.
