Appears to be fixed in current code.

When processing a document with ancient Greek characters, unrtf doesn't handle them properly.

1. It converts them to named entities, like &alpha;, instead of their standard unicode character.
2. It doesn't convert all characters. Some I suspect it can't do because there are no named entities for them (like accented characters); others it just seems to skip.

See the attached file, which consists of one word of 7 Greek letters, one with an accent. Every other character is skipped, including a line break.

The solution (for me) would be simply to leave the unicode as unicode.
