OpenType fonts with Greek polytonic (classical) characters
Can anyone suggest some good OpenType fonts that are good for running text and have good latin and classical greek character sets?
Some examples would be Adobe's Minion Pro and the new Garamond Premier Pro.

Adobe Garamond Premeire Pro has gotten rave reviews concerning it's Greek characters and it includes polytonic Greek.

Palatino Linotype has the polytonic range inside it.

I just remembered, Gentium has a polytonic Greek character set. It's not OpenType, but it is free.

And Gentium's Greek has forms gently varied depending
on whether they're for mixing with Latin or stand-alone.

Peter, which specific OpenType features are you chasing?

Nothing in particular, Si, but old-style figures would be nice. Mostly, I just want to take advantage of the automatic ligatures with OpenType and Adobe CS products.
