Rendered in 24pt Regular


Sample Glyphs:

γ


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'.
 
See http://simos.info/blog/archives/1144 for blog post and comment regarding γ.
