If you know TeX you can use the PSTricks workaround. That is you write
the greek letters the TeX way (like $\alpha$) and export the document
to, say, foo.tex. A minimal LaTeX-document for using drawing.tex would
look like:

\documentclass{article} 
\usepackage{pstricks} 
\begin{document}
\include{drawing} 
\end{document}

You can make it in a latex oneliner instead:

latex '\documentclass{article} \usepackage{pstricks} \begin{document} \include{drawing} \end{document}'

And then for viewing:

dvips -f article.dvi | gv -

or printing

dvips -Pprintername article.dvi
