The Symbol font doesn't contain any Latin characters. I'd get my Greek
characters, but I'd lose the rest of my text. I'd have to go through my
10,000 pages of source and wrap all Greek characters with some special
tagging in order to wrap the output with a <fo:inline font-family="Symbol"/>
tag, which is something I'd rather not do.

Have you tried the Symbol font? Symbol comes with XEP and is also part of
Adobe's basic fonts (those Acrobat Reader is always supposed to handle, if
I got that right). Run the file /examples/charsets/symbol.fo in your XEP
directory too see the glyphs and their Unicode numbers.
