Thanks for the imput. Its interesting that you can embed a Greek font and get it to work in ADE, but I wasn't able to do so. So I ran an experiment to verify my embedding method in sigil.

First, in Sigil I deleted all reference to the Greek font (SBL_grk.ttf), including the font and all css and body tags, then added an all-caps font (Deutgos.ttf) and added a css and a body tag for it, then inside the body tag I typed a combination of small and capital letters. Saved the epub and verified that ONLY capital letters appeared in ADE because of the embedded all-cap font. I think this demonstrates that the embedded font was working correctly.

Next, I deleted the all-caps font, added the Greek font, etc. Used both characters with and without diacritics. Found as usual that only the Greek characters without diacritics appeared in ADE.

The two parts of the experiments seem to me to demonstrate that the Greek font was properly embedded but that ADE discriminated against diacritics.
