I'm not sure if this helps you, but I've seen a font on an
ancient "Windows" 3.11 installation that included all greek
letters (uppercase and lowercase), but without special
punctuation (which is not needed for math purposes, I think).
Was the font named "Symbol"? I can't remember, it's long time
ago.

But maybe you can check and find a TTF file that can be
imported to X and / or the application you use?

I think using "sprites" of the letters instead of a font is
not a good idea...
