    This may be a bit stupid question but i really need to ask ... I'm planning on buying a mbp from the us, but i'm from europe (greece specifically) ... So, i'm wondering if i would be able to install greek fonts later on a us pc (read and write etc.) ...

    Yes, regardless of where you buy it, OS X will have support for international fonts (if you install the Greek language kits, etc. it also includes some fonts already).

    I wouldnt see why not Nick, OS X uses Font Book which most see as pretty useful, really when you put a font on your drive, you just double click it and it asks if you want to install it and you click 'yes' and if you follow the correct user setup we recommend here, you will also be asked for your admin and password to install them.

    You can install any font you like on both OS'es OS X or Windows, however I found it easier to install on OS X.

    Great question by the way.

    cheers
