We're almost there. I installed xfonts-greek\* and nothing
changed, so I installed ttf-thryomanes. Now when I view
http://shorl.com/duvigragranylu ,
I think I'm getting more characters to render, but still not
quite all -- search on that page, for instance, for the
sentence, "This is the only context in which rho with a
smooth breathing is seen, and not all traditions use it: it
is somewhat old fashioned even for Classical Greek." The
word before that sentence contains -- on my end -- a couple
of characters that aren't rendering. However, the table of
accents, breathings and length at the top is rendering fine,
whereas it didn't before.

Thanks a lot for helping me, as always.
