Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it out - made a short document with \usepackage{tgpagella} and some emphasised (and non-emphasised) Greek - but again I just got upright computer modern substitutions for both. This is quite surprising since Pagella claims to support Greek - in fact from what I can tell it's practically its purpose. Perhaps my system is somehow not setup correctly. Here's the warning I get
LaTeX Font Warning: Font shape `LGR/qpl/m/n' undefined (Font) using `LGR/cmr/m/n' instead on input line 18. Anyway, this is turning out to be a lot more effort than it's probably worth. I will do my readers a favour and just spell out "pseudodifferential operator" in full when I need it!
