Paul: That's right, the placing of the iota under the letter is the
typical way of designing the font and what Greeks would consider
'correct'.

Thanks to Bruno for updating this!

Description:

>From the Greek Extended Unicode block - 
>http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1F00.pdf
letters that have YPOGEGRAMMENI (small 'i' character under the main letter) 
typically have this 'i' under the main letter rather than on the right of the 
main letter.

Both UbuntuFontBeta and http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1F00.pdf have the 
'ι' on the right instead of under.
However, in Greek fonts such as those from the Greek Font Society 
(http://greekfontsociety.gr/) the ι is under the main letter.

You can try out the GFS fonts in Ubuntu with 

sudo apt-get install ttf-gfs-artemisia ttf-gfs-baskerville 
ttf-gfs-bodoni-classic ttf-gfs-complutum ttf-gfs-didot ttf-gfs-didot-classic 
ttf-gfs-gazis ttf-gfs-neohellenic ttf-gfs-olga ttf-gfs-porson ttf-gfs-solomos 
ttf-gfs-theokritos
