I actually try to use Gentium for Greek, varies for Hebrew (usually Times New Roman). Fallback is to Arial Unicode MS, usually. But the real issue is that The Windows "plugin" that captures keyboard input doesn't have documentation at the key level. It has an example keyboard that allow you to test pushing characters and what happens to the keyboard, but it doesn't help much for many of the more complicated diacritic combinations.
