Do you happen to have FreeSans installed? If so, that would explain it, I added FreeSans back to the font list.
Actually it turned out to be intermittent, because yesterday it was somehow using Gentium but today it did not work. But I found another way :) Firefox 2 is "powerful" enough to allow me to select different default serif and sans-serif fonts for both Western and Greek! I think this should work for anyone who is using Firefox who wants to choose their own fonts rather than the ones used by B-Greek: Go to Tools > Options > Content > Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Fonts for: Greek > Sans-serif: YourFont. It only affects polytonic Greek unicode characters though, but it will do for me :)

Thanks for the tip.

For most older browsers, I suspect Alan Wood's Unicode page might be helpful:

http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/browsers.html

It covers IE6, one of the few browsers we still seem to be having problems with.
