ATDrake, theducks - thanks for the help and clarification!

I tried two: small alpha with tonos ά and capital sigma Σ (I used the decimal codes but they don't show in MR). I think that both are common in modern Greek. The capital sigma was visible in ADE whereas the alpha with tonos was not (appeared as ?). It looks like ADE just doesn't like Greek diacritics.

I plan to substitute an image for the Greek footnote; it should work ok but not nearly as satisfactory as would be the Greek text. I wonder why Adobe decided to cripple ADE in so many ways?

Perhaps the problem lies in the characters accepted by the HTML 4 specs. in the ref. listed in the previous post by theducks:

"This entity set contains all the letters used in modern Greek. However, it does not include Greek punctuation, precomposed accented characters nor the non-spacing accents (tonos, dialytika) required to compose them. There are no archaic letters, Coptic-unique letters, or precomposed letters for Polytonic Greek. The entities defined here are not intended for the representation of modern Greek text and would not be an efficient representation; rather, they are intended for occasional Greek letters used in technical and mathematical works."
