I contacted the Gyre team a while ago about the Greek, and they said they were 
not really meant to be used, but just placeholders until the "real" Greek will 
be developed. I offered help, but I don't know how to use metatype, I could 
just help them set up the Greek Extended glyphs once the proper characters are 
in place.

And btw: please tone down your messages a bit. You sound like you are foaming 
from the mouth, and that's quite unnecessary. As Hans said: all of this is open 
source, if you hate their style of doing things that much, just develop your 
own fonts. If people are developing free software, they also have the freedom 
to do the development exactly as they see fit. Where does this sense of 
entitlement come from?
