Also, not much information has changed since the (bi-annual?) AlexBell Greek posts:

2016: Help with accented Greek Alpha please

2018: Help with Greek please

Lots of info in there: fonts, how to code it properly (for TTS), sites to help you input polytonic Greek characters, [...].

Not much new to say, it's the same ol' way it's always been.

I even use a lot of the same exact resources I used back in 2013:

If anything, just apply the font to a very specific "greek" class, and then subset the font.

SIL makes great fonts, and even have one focused on Greek called Galatia SIL:
