[Bug 646069] Re: Style: Greek: document rationale for design of PERISPOMENI accent (tilde vs. inverted breve)
Unfortunately, since sterios's comment, both
<http://ubuntuone.com/p/yPp/> (thanks to the Ubuntu One shutdown) and
<http://pi-schools.sch.gr/gymnasio/arxaia_b/math/math_1-20.pdf> have
disappeared. And <http://pi-schools.sch.gr/gymnasio/> now redirects to
<http://www.pi-schools.gr/>, which doesn't have a search field. However,
I confirmed that in <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>,
"ᾶ" is rendered using the tilde form.
As <http://www.tlg.uci.edu/~opoudjis/unicode/gkdiacritics.html#circ>
helpfully lists, both the tilde style and the inverted breve style are
widely used. The inverted breve style might be less common, but many
design choices in the Ubuntu font are relatively uncommon.
** Summary changed:
- Style: Greek: document rationale for design of PERISPOMENI accent (tilde vs. inverted breve)
