x11-fonts/gentium for one has a good set of Greek characters within the
font. Many other freely available TTF fonts do likewise.
I notice the OP is using inkscape -- I can't see an easy way of inputting=
Greek characters from the keyboard with that app, and there isn't a handy=
character chooser like there is in openoffice.
However Gentium does come with some handy proof sheets of all of the Gree=
k
and Roman glyphs provided by the font in:
/usr/local/share/doc/gentium/Gentium-Greek-Specimen.pdf
You can cut'n'paste from there.
Cheers,
Matthew
