I found a way to manually overcome this problem.

  1. Use manually lualatex instead of pdflatex in renderer.py (lines 942-946)
  2. Insert these lines in Preamble.j2.tex of the theme that you use (for example themes/classic/Preamble.j2.tex) \usepackage{fontspec} \setmainfont{Times New Roman} and remove the default \usepackage[default, type1]{sourcesanspro} % for using source sans 3 font

In this way, Greek & English letters are rendered just fine!

My setup:

I hope that this post is helpful to anyone stuck on the same problem!
