LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 xterm \
  -fn '-Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-SemiCondensed--13-120-75-75-C-60-ISO10646-1'

will give you an xterm to display polytonic Greek characters such as
those you find in the UTF-8 files in

Entering Polytonic Greek is a bit more tricky. The Yudit editor
has an entry method for it. Others here might be able to help you
writing a keyboard definition file for XFree86 such that you can type
polytonic into xterm etc. directly.
