Hi Dave,

here's another suggestion: A Greek OpenType font for special
editions, with ligatures like those in Matthew Carter's
Wilson Greek, plus everything needed for a critical apparatus.

Of course there is Philokolia,
(http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/philokalia)
but its letter shapes are quite peculiar.

Regards,
Robert
