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.
