Hi Luis,

thanks very much. You saved me a lot of time.

I had the ancient greek spelling checker in Libreoffice installed 
already, but it didn´t work.
Now after your help in saying to install ibus, which I did,
it helped. I can use it now.

I also installed the Gnome characters app
but it doesn´t include the greek alphabet unfortunately.
