Comment 4 for bug 646069

Indeed there are more than one styles in the representation of PERISPOMENH for Greek Polytonic. Which shall we choose?

Greek students are taught Ancient Greek (in Greek Polytonic) in high school and senior high school (ages 12 to 18). The school books for high school are freely available as PDF files from http://pi-schools.sch.gr/gymnasio/ (search for «Αρχαία» to find all
relevant books) For example, http://pi-schools.sch.gr/gymnasio/arxaia_b/math/math_1-20.pdf (ages 13-14). You can also download the entire dictionary, students currently use: http://files.ubuntu-gr.org/forum/pros/dictionaries/%20%ce%b1%cf%81%cf%87%ce%b1%ce%af%cf%89%ce%bd%20%ce%b5%ce%bb%ce%bb%ce%b7%ce%bd%ce%b9%ce%ba%cf%8e%ce%bd.pdf

All Greek students go through high school, as it is part of the compulsory education, and they end up seeing this type of Greek Polytonic.

In addition, the default installation of Ubuntu with the Greek locale (language support) allows users to type Greek Polytonic (we made it part of the default keyboard layout). Thus, students can write their school essays on Ubuntu with Ubuntu font, in Greek Polytonic.

Therefore, we, as Ubuntu-gr community, believe that we should go for the style 'tilde' for PERISPOMENI, since it is used in Greek education, and specifically during all (compulsory) secondary education.
