Typeset greek in maths/physics texts and non-greek documents in general tends
to be too elaborate and (for some mysterious reason) *italic*... for example,
capital gamma should be like an F missing the horizontal line in the middle,
small beta is like the german "ss".  I've changed some of them, added the 
greek R. The rest look fine!
