Thanks for all the input on this.

The only drawback I see here is that you have to clearly mark out the Greek 
in your markdown, whereas, if you're happy with the appearance of the Greek 
characters in your chosen font, you don't have to do anything and they just 
appear. (The impetus for my question came from someone wanting - I think - 
to turn fairly simple text files into nice-looking PDFs automatically.)

Here's my ideal (I think): pandoc is smart enough to see a block of Greek 
text and your Greek font gets applied to it. That seems a bit unlikely, but 
I wonder how hard it would be to create a filter that uses regex to look 
for Greek text and surround it with the appropriate tags.

PS I'm playing with Theano Didot a bit. My own needs so far don't require a 
lot of worrying about Greek texts, but you never know!
