    Hello,

    while writing a tutorial for type-setting texts (particularly: lyrics
    for European folk songs), I have run into a problem: apparently, none of
    the fonts on my system contains all of the combining marks used for
    polytonic Greek. I would like to present them attached to a dashed
    circle, akin to the Unicode code charts.

    Particularly I have not found any font containing U+0342, nor U+0345.
    For U+0342 COMBINING GREEK PERISPOMEMI, I could well substitute U+0303
    COMBINING TILDE; but for U+0345 COMBINING GREEK YPOGEGRAMMENI, U+0328
    COMBINING OGONEK is a rather poor stopgap.

    Does anybody know of a TT, or OT, font that contains these characters?
    They have been in Unicode since 3.0, or even earlier.

    Thanks in advance for any hint.

    Best wishes,
       Otto Stolz
