Yes, I know - I've seen professionally published magazines with the
wrong ano teleia glyph, bigger and lower than it should be. It was
probably not even caused by normalization - I think most Greek keyboards
produce 00B7 and not 0387.
Since language-dependend glyph selection isn't very widespread for now,
would it be too much to ask font designers to put a MIDDLE DOT glyph
appropriate for Greek in fonts capable of displaying Greek text?
That's a just a wish, BTW - I don't expect designers to do what I say
just because I sent a message in a mailing list ;-)
