Thanks also for thinking that I was the one composing such beautiful
texts. I wish I could ;-). I'm afraid I can't.

I guess that your fix would take so much time as fixing the font itself
(as it is released under the Open Font License).

And the Greek Font Society is the one to fix it. I only wanted to know
whether opbd is the right OpenType feature for the hanging diacritics.

Thanks for your help,


Pablo
