Greek capital letters with prosgegrammeni (U+1F88-1F8F, U+1F98-1F9F, U+1FA8-1FAF, U+1FBC, U+1FDC, U+1FFC) have prosgegrammeni incorrectly placed at the right side of the letter instead of at below, in obligue variant of the font.
I disagree with assessment.
I think prosgegrammeni goes after the letter, as opposed to ypogegrammeni, which goes under the letter.

It's a big problem to make such wide characters fit in Mono.
My solution is to get the parts as close as can be reasonably done, and let tails and serifs hang out of the bounding box. (I hope they can still be understood if they are clipped.
Note: Courier New puts prosgegrammeni under the base glyph; this may be a measure to reduce the width of the glyph.
I don't know if it is permitted typographically to put prosgegrammeni under the letter. Please let me know if it is; I would use this information.
