When a web page with CJK contains some Greek words, it is desirable that the Greek characters be displayed correctly in Source Han Sans, rather than switching to Source Sans for only some of the characters.
In this case, in my experience, Source Han Sans/Serif is no difference from other CJK fonts where a complete coverage of LGC characters are not their main objective. The problem is even much more easier to solve on the web - just use a LGC font as the primary font with CJK a font as the fallback.

I checked SourceHanSansReadMe.pdf and it seems not clear which Greek characters are supported in Source Han Sans. When a web page with CJK contains some Greek words, it is desirable that the Greek characters be displayed correctly in Source Han Sans, rather than switching to Source Sans for only some of the characters. Thank you for taking this request into consideration.
