You are right.

That worked nicely, thanks, 

I have now written the following quick and dirty functions:


(defun my-texutf8-set-greek ()
  (interactive)
  (set-face-font 'default "-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-200-75-75-c-100-iso8859-7"))


(defun my-texutf8-set-courier ()
  (interactive)
  (set-face-font 'default "-*-courier-bold-r-*-*-18-180-*-*-*-*-*-*"))

(defun my-toggle-texutf8-font ()
  (interactive "_")
  (make-repeat-command 'my-toggle-texutf8-font
					   '(my-texutf8-set-greek
						 my-texutf8-set-courier)))


And that is fine for me.

that unfortunately seems to be the case :(
