Polytonic greek (or even better full Unicode) font

Hello,

I notice that when I browse (with either the native or an Android browser) to a page with polytonic Greek characters, these come up as gray boxes, indicating the lack of a font to visualize them. It would be nice if the Jolla came with at least one font (to be used as fallback) that had a more or less complete support for Unicode.

(Just to be clear, by polytonic Greek I mean stuff like ὅ or ἄ)

Just to hammer your point home, your example characters show up as grey boxes on my Jolla ;)

Nothing when using TJC client, not even grey boxes or blanks.

The percentage of people needing greek + using a jolla is rather small so don't expect them to fix it soon.

at least we should tell them which fonts are missing

Useful arrow characters for CSS-only solutions are also missing: ▾ and ⌄
