Indicating the SQL server encoding in freetds.conf might have given httpd the information it needed to convert the SQL data into UTF-8, creating a coherent response to the client. If you have time to investigate further, I'd suggest looking for a way to request UTF-8 from the SQL server (which might mean changing the setting in freetds.conf, or removing it and requesting UTF-8 elsewhere). Your current situation will work for Greek characters, but you'll be unable to save or view characters from other languages.
