So I installed kolourpaint, and tried to type Greek text with it. I thought I'd use a font I created myself. Unfortunately, although the English text worked without a single problem, Greek text showed up as another font, one that I had not selected. Pre-made fonts appeared as they should, surprisingly.
Apart from that, no matter what font I was using, I could not use accents; the accent appeared first, as a separate character, and the vowel I typed later appeared unaccented. (Please refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_diacritics#Accents for more information on what that is)
...of course, there's also the aeons-old problem of word-wrapping in the font boxes. That's about all the problems I found.
