[B-Greek] Macs and Yahoo Messenger

If she is using a specific type of font that does not come on all macs - you
will have to download that font as well. The problem seems to me that the
code is not getting lost in Yahoo, rather the receiving computer does not
have the code to interpret the message.

Find out what font she is typing in, get it and install it on the receiving
computer, if that does not work let me know and I will try to find something
out.
