[B-Greek] Final sigma in a Greek Font

Have you tried simply typing the keyboard while in that font? Hitting
in sequence the top row of keys, tilde through numbers to plus sign;
return; then the next row of keys, q to backslash, etc.? I would
expect it to be there somewhere.
If worst comes to worst, *if* the font is Unicode you can enable
Unicode Hex Input if it's not already (Apple Menu->System
Preferences->International->Input Menu and check off that option, near
the bottom of your many choices) and select that input method by
pulling down from the flag next to the date and time at the top of the
window, and then while holding down the Option key - or Alt if you're
using a PC keyboard - type the Unicode value, 03c2. As soon as you
type the "2" your terminal sigma will appear. But I suspect it's w or
j or some simple letter and that won't be necessary.
Using the built-in Greek Polytonic keyboard (enabled as above for
Unicode Hex, but not as far down in your list of choices), in a test
of a few Unicode and non-Unicode fonts that I have, all produce
terminal sigma with a w, so give that a go first. You can also
download the SophoKeys polytonic Greek keyboard:
http://www.sourcecod.com/sophokeys/
and enable and use that, especially if you're used to Beta Code. It
detects where you are in a word and when you type a sigma it's
terminal by default, remaining such if you hit the space bar but
changing to medial as soon as you type a letter after it.
Hope this helps.
