Greek with diacritics in Adobe DE
There's a short Greek footnote in one of my in prep epubs. In trying to reproduce these characters in an epub, I embedded a Greek font (SBL_grk.ttf) in the epub using Sigil, entered a few characters, then checked it with Adobe DE.

None of the characters with diacritics came through (ADE replaced them with ?) whereas those without diacritics were ok. All, including those with diacritics looked ok in Sigil book view (but in code view, those entered using a Greek keyboard, Keyman 7.1, in which the diacritics were added to the glyph in a two-step process - showed only as little boxes)

Are problems with diacritics in ADE a result of a known bug? And why should Sigil code view be different in response to an embedded font compared to book view?

Does anyone know a work-around for ADE?
