  I have an XML file with some Greek letters represented by entities like
  this:
  
  <cell>&#949;&#943;&#957;&#945;&#953;

they are not entity references they are character references (it makes a
difference to the XML parser if nothing else)

> I need these entities to transform the XML file to HTML.
well you'd get the same output however the characters were input,
whether as character references or as entity references (&alpha; etc for
a suitable definition of alpha, or as character data).

> But I would like to have a PDF file from this XML using XSLFO and FOP. And
> in this case, the Greek letters aren't correct.

an FO renderer is supposed to be able to accept any unicode characters,
although if it doesn't have a suitable font it can print missing glyph
markers. You haven't given any indication of what goes wrong so it is
hard to  give any help.
