what do you think is it okay to place tonos above dieresis in greek?
i haven’t seen this in fonts made by native designers; they usually place the tonos between the dots of the dieresis.

    This is one of those things in which the convention that developed over time was worked out in traditional book types, and runs into problems as soon as people started getting into heavier weights, lower contrast designs, and tight spacing. It definitely looks odd to have the tonos aboke the dialytika, but it may be the less bad solution in this kind of design.
