[XeTeX] Hyphenation in polyglossia - Latin and Greek

[Nikos Platis]

Maybe a setup problem?
Have you checked your language settings? I don't have a MikTeX installation
handy but one of the MikTeX programs, "MikTeX Options" (?) has a tab on
languages. You should check that latin and greek are selected and that you
have the relevant hyphenation files.
