Yes, but, if we make a list of regular expressions that
matches ONLY with those fonts, I think the list is still too
long.  And, if we make a more condensed list something like
below (though I think it's still too long):

"-adove-\\(coureer\\|helvetica\\)gr"
"-elot-fixed-.*-iso8859-7"
"-etl-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-130-75-75-c-70-iso8859-7"
"-etl-fixed-medium-r-normal--16-120-100-100-c-80-iso8859-7"
"-etl-fixed-medium-r-normal--24-170-100-100-c-120-iso8859-7"
"-graphis-grarial"
"-greek"
"-grinet"
"-hrnet&hcr-grt"
"-misc-\\(gr\\)?fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-[68]0-iso8859-7"

They may match with wrong fonts (i.e. fonts that should not
be ignored).

One more thing I noticed is that at least
-etl-fixed-medium-r-normal--24-170-100-100-c-120-iso8859-7
has correct glyphs for Greek alphabets.  If people use that
font only for Greek alphabets, it seems that they get
correct displaying.
