Unfortunately, the font is unmaintained upstream: it was basically a "code drop" (well, a "font drop" in this case) by a Greek commercial font vendor, Magenta, and they haven't made any changes since they released it. It's still in use, both in print and on screen, by several -mostly Greek speaking- users, altough the introduction of Greek glyphs in other fonts like DejaVu and Liberation since then have limited its use. It isn't intended to be just a print font and it isn't used that way either, so limiting its use via defoma seems unacceptable, IMHO. Help to fix its hinting would be welcome, though.
