Thanks, but I already have a (some) font(s) with the correct
characters; it's a question of how the data is coded: thus, the
"symbol" font displays the LXX text data correctly, but not the NT
text data.  Other Greek fonts with all needed characters also fail,
presumably because of inconsistent coding.

I asked about this because I assumed if the module for the Greek NT
was available, someone must have solved this problem already.

I agree.
