Make sure you have selected the correct code page in the subtitles Preferences. Make also sure that you are using a font which can handle greek characters.
In all cases it's always better to use Unicode encoding than any dedicated code page for compatibility reasons.

i tried them all still they dont work but i dont understand before it was working normally in every subs suddenly i dont know what happened
