Description:
The way the letter γ (U03B3) is styled is different from the typical you would expect in a Greek font.
A Greek user would notice the peculiarity in this character and should take a bit to get used to it. What a Greek speaker expects is the 'leg' of γ to be vertical.
If γ follows a design principle then I believe it's OK to have it like that.
I believe one requirement here is that γ and ν look different.
Currently γ looks very similar to the ν from DejaVu Sans (currently default Ubuntu font) but with a 'leg'.
