With german and english subtitles i have no problem but my boyfriend is greek and for the greek subtitles when i put them, vlc show them strange, he didn't show the greek caracters, is there something to do to change it ?

You might need to force the subtitle format and encoding to read those correctly.

Can you perhaps explain me how to do it ?

Use advanced open or use the preferences=>OSD section to do so.
