As mentioned in another thread Jellby has helped me to embed DejaVuSans.ttf and DejaVuSans-Oblique.ttf in an ebook, and get that ebook to show Greek characters with accents (tonos) and in italics.

But I've just noticed that even though the other accented Greek characters show as they should epsilon tonos does not show in ADE; it just gives a question mark. It does show as expected in mobi and iPad/iBooks. I've tried both entities &941 and &#x03AD, but that shouldn't make any difference anyway if &941 works in mobi and iBooks.

Is this a fault in ADE? Or has anyone got epsilon tonos to work in ADE with another font? Any suggestions?
