William,

I tested your settings instead of my fontset.el. Probably there are 
still many useless lines in
your fontset specification, but it works, and cgreek is displayed 
correctly. So, the
problem is *not* with bdf fonts.

I'd like to know, if you load the cgreek package after your 
font-specific settings?
It should be loaded *before* your fontset specification, so that Emacs can
know what is "cgreek" charset before using it.

AFAIK, there are only 3 greek font files, but your are trying to load only
one of them (for 16 pt). Of course, you should have a valid fonts.dir
file in the same directory.

No, you may put them anywhere (I have them in 
c:/emacs-21.2/fonts/bdf/cgreek) .

I'm not sure for this font-encoding alist. Probably it is not necessary 
at all.
But I tried to insert these lines in my _emacs file, and nothing (wrong)
happened.

No, "greek" and "cgreek" are completely different character sets.
You should know that the WinGreek encoding has nothing to do with
the monotonic iso-8859-7 (or windows-1253).
