The fonts come through OK for me with Chrome & IE9.
I think the corruption on the Wind Direction gauge is due to the UTF-8 script file (steelseries.min.js) being used on an iso-8859-7 page.

No, I meant did you save the HTML file with UTF-8 encoding (as well as the meta tag)

OK, I just took your HTML page, saved it in UTF-8 format on my website (with a UTF-8 meta tag) and it works fine. The Greek characters are OK, and the gauges are OK.

I have left teh gauges in English because it it using my 'live' copies.
I do notice that you have included the language.js and gauges.js script files twice - this will be causing you some problems.
So honest folks UTF-8 encoding
does work for all languages, that is why it is the default encoding for HTML5 - it is universal.

If you are not using the digital font, then the code just declares the font as "NNpx sans-serif", so it looks like Opera has an odd font defined as the default 'sans-serif'. Have you over-ridden the browser 'default' font settings?
