LINE/TALK/FONT - Greek font repost

Someone pointed out to me that I didn't post my Greek font here, only
over in alt, so here it comes again.
-------------------------------
Well, I thought I'd try to give the guy who asked for Greek
something.  It is a little tough doing this without really knowing
Greek, though.  I mean, I've only ever seen typeset Greek and that
doesn't really communicate the real flow of the handwriting.  I had
to make a few guesses at the best way to represent a letter here and
there.  Could the realGreeks out there tell me if they think this
would belegible (or if not, indicate what letters don't work).

I modified this from a pre-existing three line font out of one of
Scarecrow's archives.  It was attributed there to
u2i...@teach.cs.keele.ac.uk (RJ Pomeroy) as part of a long font
collection.

As a rather new ASCII artist, I really welcome comments.

Typeset greek in maths/physics texts and non-greek documents in general tends
to be too elaborate and (for some mysterious reason) *italic*... for example,
capital gamma should be like an F missing the horizontal line in the middle,
small beta is like the german "ss".  I've changed some of them, added the 
greek R. The rest look fine!

Heh.  Boy, is my face red.  I must have just missed it when I was
converting.  Anyway, I got a tweaked version from someone that I just
posted.  It has a Rho in it.

Once again, someone has been having trouble posting to this group. 
I'm afraid I don't know the answer to his question (and the only guy
I know who could just draw the letter for me is on vacation this
month), so I'm forwarding it to yall here.

***************************************************************************
For some reason, I could not post, so I replied to your post...

We're missing the sigma that occurs at the end of a word, it looks
a lot like the Roman "s".  I can write it with a pencil when I
write my name (TIMO{TH}EOS) but I'm not sure how to create the
character
with ASCII.  Anyone?

-tim

Well, once again I get mail from a kind soul who can't post to r.a.a.

So....

Sorry for bothering you :) I can't post to r.a.a so...

I tried lots of variations, the best seems to be this one:
