     Yes indeed, all this works fine. However, the first "mu" above was
produced
by Alt+M on my usual French keyboard. Now, if I switch to the Greek keyboard
inside my Mac and write "mu" in the source file with that keyboard, then
it doesn't
work any more (the PDF output gives a blank character instead of a "mu").

  So it seems that the native Greek keyboard on my Mac does not use Unicode.
How may I solve this compatibility problem ? Should I create my own Greek
keyboard
on the Mac ? How is this done ?
