I was helping a friend use pandoc to go from markdown to PDF on a Mac. His problem was that the default PDF output couldn't handle the Greek characters. The problem was solved by switching the font in either the default.latex file or within the md document with
 \setmainfont{Baskerville}

I'm concluding that the default PDF output font (Latin Modern Roman?) doesn't have these characters, whereas Baskerville (among others) does.

Is this right? Is there another way to solve this within the default setup?
