As I don't succeed in pasting valid Greek characters in the posts I send to this
newsgroup, I decided to utilize the Polytonic Greek keyboard. But when I get to
write to alt.just.testing for a trial, I can just see a series of squares. I tried with Arial Unicode MS and Times New Roman fonts.

It may be that there is an encoding for greek characters when you send messages. Select unicode in the text format, and fiddle around with the options first and make more posts until you get it right.

I take it, your greek fonts look alright before you sent the messages, but only get back a post with rectangles...
