Some more:
I am trying hard to work it out, it's a real botheration:

1
I compared the font sets from two PCs and deleted those which are present on the PC where the problem occurs but not on the PC where Acrobat and Photoshop work fine.
Problem consists.
So it's definetely not a weird font that I have from somewhere. The set of fonts seems to be fine.

2
Then I looked in the *.eps file, what font is used. It is:

/SetTitleFont {/ArialMT ...
/SetLogoFont {/Arial-BoldMT ...
/SetStringFont{/ArialMT ...
/SetPrimeFont {/Symbol ...
/SetSmallFont {/ArialMT ...
/SetNumberFont {/ArialMT ...

So, substituted in the *.eps file "Symbol" with "ArialMT" since the greek characters come from the Symbol character set. Saved, reopened. Problem consists.

3
Then I realized that I don't have a font named "ArialMT". I have exactly 19 variants of Arial in the font folder, but none of them is called "ArialMT" or "Arial-BoldMT". They are just called "Arial"/"arial.ttf", "Arial Bold (true type)"/"arialbd.ttf" ... no "MT"
Wikipedia says "...Arial, sometimes marketed as Arial MT ..."

Is there a problem with the naming of my Arial fonts? I never changed anything with my fonts...?! Where can I download "ArialMT" ...

That's all so weird!
