Elstob font

This release corrects a bug that caused lowercase ligatures to be mixed with small cap text. Everyone who downloaded version 3.000 should upgrade to 3.001.

Elstob font

This upgrade of the Elstob font adds Greek support, both monotonic and polytonic, together with OpenType programming that allows users to produce polytonic Greek by typing base letter + diacritics instead of the precomposed characters in Greek Extended. It also fixes some irregularities in metrics and kerning.

THIS IS AN UNSTABLE RELEASE for the purpose of testing Greek additions to Elstob. Note that while I am deciding what to do about Greek in the italic face (suggestions welcome), that is little more than a slanted version of the Greek in the roman face.
