I only see the first problem. Which suggests that the subpixel 
antialiasing is correct for my display but incorrect for yours, as the 
letters all look sharp for me, without any more color artifacts than 
you'd expect from subpixel antialiasing.

Things probably don't look much better with the old font code either.

Only some fonts support antialiasing.  If you try different greek fonts, 
you might find one where it works.
