It's typesetting, not word processing (and the source text you provide is
certainly not WISIWIG!), but TeX (e.g., PasTeX or AmigaTeX) should have no
problem doing that.  I haven't actually tried putting diacritical marks on 
Greek letters, but it should work the same as it does for modern European 
languages...
