A very worthy cause! It is my impression that (La)TeX support for Greek
fonts have been somewhat lacking.

Would you be prepared to make you .etx and .mtx file publicly available?

The recent v1.914 patch 4 will fix this (as did, if I recall things
correcly, already v1.914 patch 2). (The patches have been posted to this
