Greek accents #84

Greek Accents do not seem to show in the app. Is this a matter of configuration? If so, I'd be thankful to learn how to turn them on :-)

Thanks!

Greek accents are available only on the Westcott-Hort edition. The electronic sources used for Byzantine / Textus Receptus / Tischendorf do not supply any diacritics, and so the app itself can't render them either, unfortunately. If you know of any rights-free digital sources that provide these diacritics, I'd be happy to hear about it, but so I've yet to find a fully parsed edition of any of these that provides diacritics. (Beyond the WH.)

Ultimately, while I'll agree that the accents are useful, they are not required and the word can be inferred from context. Not ideal, granted, but until an electronic source comes along that has them, I'm stuck.
