I would probably add the package 'font-sil-gentium' [1] and then
regenerate my font cache with 'fc-cache -f -v'. [2] In most cases, it
should be sufficient to do so as a user rather than on the system
level.
The font designers state that "Gentium is a typeface family designed
to enable ... Latin, Cyrillic, and Greek scripts.... It supports
almost the complete range of Unicode characters." [3]
Please do some research to find the best font for you, though. I am
culturally on the opposite side of the Ancient Greeks and therefore
not a good source for related information.
Kind regards
Felix
