I am a new list member interested in implementing archaic, classical and Hellenistic Greek glyphs in a Unicode font. My initial questions will be focused on handling multiple alternate glyphs for each character, and how to organize a font with several thousand Hellenistic monograms.
Is this the appropriate discussion list? If not, I'd appreciate a pointer.
It is not an inappropriate list; however, you may get better mileage from the OpenType developer communities, in particular the OT list and the VOLT user community. For information on these, see:
http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/otlist.htm & http://www.microsoft.com/typography/developers/volt/default.htm
For the OpenType specification and related developer documents, see:

If you are unfamiliar with OpenType, this is a good place to start:
