Hmmm.... I guess we probably see this differently (literally). I understood the issue when reading this email in emacs-devel web archive. I'm attaching an image for you to see what it usually looks like with Iosevka Aile font. In K9 the accents are even covering your own name, this is a bug, most fonts do not support this and users should be able to easily type "stacking" accents of the same type. Depending on which greek input is used, the way to type accents is different. For example, in greek-polytonic that was recommended previously, to add an oxia (΄), using ";" in us qwerty keyboards, you first have to type the vowel & then press ";". That's the opposite of how Greek input methods work, we first type ";" (or the any other character representing the accent(s) we want) and then the vowel. You can try that by using the "greek" input method or by using "setxkbmap gr" to see the differences with greek-polytonic in typing a vowel with oxia. greek-babel appears to support polytonic accents, but I haven't fully tested it due to unfamiliarity with its keybindings. I will start working on a new greek-polytonic input method similar to what is commonly used in proprietary software that most users are familiar with. I'm attaching an image of the keybindings commonly used. Cheers,
