I wouldn't say "equally well". Graphics don't wrap or scale nicely with font size. But for Greek (or Cyrillic, etc.), there are many fonts that include those characters, so they can be directly encoded (as unicode or entities) in the ebook and be displayed in whichever font the user has chosen. The Russian version of "La divina commedia" I posted was done that way, Greek would be just as easy, I believe.
