You are correct, it is "Greek Polytonic" (not polyphonic, my error). With Greek fonts (and some other languages) the keyboard has a special set up so that if you press the key for an accent or other diacritic marking, and then press the key for the correct letter. The letter then appears with the accent over it. (I have no idea if it includes a backspace or something else.) This works fine for me. However, when I have two diacritics, like the circumflex accent which is the '[' key, and also the little iota which is the '{' key, the machine stops and must be recovered. Your point about using another font was a good one. I opened a page, set the keyboard to Greek Polytonic, and, on a new line, set the font to Liberation Sans. I typed in several accent combinations and nothing happened. So, I went to another line below, set the font to Times New Roman, size 16, which is what I was using before, and it seemed to be fine. for a minute. I highlighted the two lines to erase them, and LibreOffice quit. For a moment, it just froze, and then as I was checking to see if I could save the file, it went into a recovery mode. So that seems a step forward, if the problem might be a font. I should note that with these languages, usually the keyboard is set up so that you type normally, and just press the key for the accent(s) before the character and it all appears correctly. I don't know how to combine letters with the unicode tool as you can with Ubuntu, but it seems like the problem may be in the combination with the keyboard used with a language and certain fonts. (And maybe the Mac operating system, who knows?) If you want, I can try other fonts, but that will take a while as I have to recover in those cases that have a freeze. I just checked, and had to use 'Force Quit' to stop LibreOffice from just sitting there making the rainbow cursor spin. The report to send to Apple was offered, but it is pages and pages long, and didn't seem appropriate to append here. I can do it if necessary.
