My basic request is for a pointer to a primer to show me how embed fonts which will show all Greek characters in an ePub file and in a mobi file converted from the ePub to mobi.

I'd also like a pointer to a file which will show me the HTML entities and numbers for all the Greek characters.

The background is that I have a client who has done an ebook containing Greek words and has uploaded it to Amazon - she says she sent them a Word document and they produced the mobi ebook. I'm looking at the ebook now on my Kindle 3, and it shows Greek words and characters including characters with accents and diacritics.

However she is not happy with the formatting, and wants me to do an ePub version and another Kindle version.

The way I produce ebooks is to take a Word document, mark it up as valid XHTML 1.1 strict with an HTML editor, package it up as a valid ePub, and then use calibre to produce a mobi version.

I've looked at turkish_template.epub by Doitsu, and think I have the beginnings of some understanding of how to embed fonts. But I would really like a more detailed account of how to do it (suitable for a ten year old) and some advice on how to make sure the Greek characters are properly produced in the mobi version.

I've looked at the DejaVu font website, and so far as I can tell it is able to produce all the Greek characters, but any suggestions as to what font I should use would also be helpful.
