Sorry for my delayed reply, John.

The Latin Modern typeface only contains Latin glyphs.

https://cm-unicode.sf.net contains Computer Modern fonts in OpenType
format. The following should work:

    \setmainfont{CMU Serif}

Even defining a fallaback font for Greek characters should be easy with
fontspec. But I haven’t used LaTeX for years and I don’t remember how to
do it.

I hope it helps,

Pablo
