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!
