Sorry for my delay. I found that the same issue i had with Chrome as well and responsible for that was Helvetica neue. I delete the font and the problem is gone. Thanks again!

Does this happen on other sites or only yahoo mail? I have a feeling this might be a yahoo rendering issue with greek more than anything, or it's somehow clashing with firefox's greek settings, hmm
