It would be awesome if you implemented Greek ligatures in this font. On Wikimedia Commons I discovered some good examples to show how does these ligatures looks like. Click Original File to see them clearly when you access the file description page.

Books made with Grecs du roi, a Greek typeface by Claude Garamond https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Grecs_du_Roi A book Illustrirte Geschichte der Buchdruckerkunst has a section "Griechisch" (page 570-573) including Greek sample texts with such typeface. https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Illustrirte_Geschichte_der_Buchdruckerkunst_(Faulmann)&filefrom=Illustrirte+Geschichte+der+Buchdruckerkunst+%28Faulmann%29+401.jpg#mw-category-media

The upright is a Didot. So it would make no sense having these ligatures in that style. In the italic, there are already some ligatures and I don't have a strong interest in adding more.
