I do not have Colony 3 at the moment and I am unable to check (sorry).

I have asked on a local forum for assistance and they tried with:
  Linux mini-ubu 2.6.12-7-powerpc #1 Fri Aug 19 14:48:03 UTC 2005 ppc GNU/Linux
  openoffice.org2-core 1.9.121-1ubuntu11. Sat Aug 20 12:17:17 BST 2005
  Default repos, default fonts.
  English Locale

The output was

which is expected. The fix most probably solves the issue when the document
language is Greek.
If it is English, or any other, the problem remains.

I am trying to get the submitted to change the document language to Greek and
test for the fix above.

Regarding the locale name, "el" or "el-GR", it would be more appropriate to have
"el" as these settings are common for both Greece and Cyprus.
There is a shift from el_GR to plain "el".
