Greek character set in Junicode

[Stephen M Hewitt]

Thank you Peter Baker for the latest version. Junicode is a wonderful font, but it has a BIG DRAWBACK - its Greek character range is incompatible with the rest and cannot be used for extra symbols by linguists, unlike with other fonts such as Gentium, Charis SIL, Times New Roman, Linux Libertine, Brill, Cambria, Calibri, etc. I've tried to draw attention to this on the Junicode website, but to no avail. Please consider redesigning the Greek character set to make it compatible for use together with the rest.

I don't have sufficient knowledge of Greek script to design a Greek range that will harmonize with Junicode. My recommendation is to select a Greek font that looks good alongside Junicode (in my documentation I suggest the free fonts GFS Didot Classic and GFS Porson). Use styles rather than font-switching to access these, and you should get good results with little or no extra effort.

I would also point out that Junicode is an Open Source project, and all are welcome to contribute to it or fork their own versions (consistent with the OFL license). In short, if you want Greek, have at it and put it in!
