Dear Maintainer,

After a bug report in console-setup-linux Bug#1027446, the maintainers asked me to address here, because file Greek-Fixed16.psf.gz of their package, is produced by the unifont package.

The glyphs of greek letters γ μ ζ ξ appear UGLY in tty.
I re-design them (I am not a graphic designer, so I spent a lot of my time - please respect him)
γ = 0x3b3
μ = 0x3bc
ζ = 0x3b6 (higher that capitals)
ξ = 0x3be (higher that capitals)

(bug report created with `bugreport`. I will send a follow-up email with files)

Any updates?
If it is super-hard, is there anything I can do? (e.g. provide an edited font).
Is there an issue with the 4 character glyphs I provide?

 Please do NOT rush :(
 It is only 1 week or so.

 I have my family (my wife and little son) and my day job.
 Those are important, especially doing some Japanese traditions during
 1/1-1/3, and traveling with my family is very important to me.

 I can do some package maintenance work during my spare time, and
 I do it for 200 and more packages.
