I am not sure. Say, I need Unicode BWgrkl, Unicode EGreek, Unicode
Vaticanus, Unicode Uncial. Are all these fonts available? Certainly not.
What I wanted to say is that if you simply need some Greek characters,
you could use the Symbol font or ANY Unicode Greek font, but if you need
differently looking Greek fonts, you need different Unicode fonts as
well, so, same problem.

Can you embed in PowerPoint? Never looked for that option.
