All 32-bit xyplorer (up to latest version, 27.20.1000) display the greek characters ok in ANSI.
I cannot reproduce this and see no way this could be possible in 27.20.1000. I could make it possible with some effort, but I doubt it's a good idea. The expectation is that the ANSI set is stable across all locales. So, sorry, but things will have to stay as they are.

It's ok. This is way too minor to put time and effort in it.
