Can you explain which one is the best way to encode greek accented texts in
order to be 'compatible' with what is most commonly accepted?
I gather from the above that the greek+combining is the preferred way
(instead of using precomposed chars), but i think precomposed chars tend to
show up better (since the correct drawing of diacriticals is a bit
difficult).
