Greek Alphabet

Intro

Greek alphabet in order with: Upper/Lower in both Variable-width and Fixed-width fonts; English spelling of the letter's name; and the typical transliteration (xlit). The Greek alphabet descended from the Phoenician alphabet, and in turn is the ancestor of several European alphabets. Some Greek letters are mentioned in S19.
