  Not to my experience. There seem to be a lot of Latin+Cyrillic fonts
around, and I would guess that at least some of them have quite good
quality, but for Greek fonts this is not the case. OTOH, there is a
serious shortage of Greek fonts that are (a) indisputably free, and
(b) of adequate quality so as not to pop my eyeballs off their
sockets. No, come to think of it, there is even a shortage of Greek
fonts that only satisfy the (a) condition.

  Well, it's not that easy either. Capital letters are almost ready if
you have capital Latin & Cyrillic ones, but a lot of the small letters
are *very* different from anything else in the other scripts.

  Anyway, I don't intend to criticise anyone, just wanted to clarify
some things...
