Greek characters in nextstep

Greek characters in nextstep

[G.W.Pigman III]

In GNU Emacs 23.0.93.1 (i386-apple-darwin9.6.0, NS apple- 
appkit-949.43) some Greek characters don't display properly.  Show  
multi-lingual text doesn't display accented characters (e.g. the final  
letter in ελληνικά).  The first letters are displayed in apple- 
STHeiti-medium-normal-normal-Light-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1, but the  
last letter is a blank box in apple-Monaco-medium-normal-normal- 
Regular-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1.  If the font is set to -apple- 
Arial_Unicode_MS-medium-normal-normal-Regular-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1,  
ά displays in that font, but the rest of the word is in STHeiti, and  
the combination is hard to read owing to the difference in character  
size.

This has been reported as bug #3174.  It is an important one.

Note that there is a long list of bugs in the NS port and we'd welcome  
an effort from people to contribute fixes and helpful comments to  
existing bug reports.  (I have partially analyzed a number of the  
bugs, but often I need advice from people familiar with parts of the  
code to come up with the right fix.)
