Attachment: screenshot of issue

Description:
This bug is filed for the remaining issue unfixed in bug 1117615. Using Firefox OS to display list of Greek alphabets, we have 14 characters that show up as a block instead of the actual character.

STR:
1) On Firefox OS latest master, visit this page in browser http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_alphabet#Computer_encodings
2) Scroll down to see the list of Greek alphabets

Expected: All alphabets supported

Actual: 14 alphabets from row U+03Ex are displayed as blocks. See attached screenshot.

This issue is NOT a regression as before bug 1117615 we supported even fewer characters.

The original issue was a blocker but not sure this one needs to be as well.  Delphine can I get your opinion?

[Delphine Lebédel [:delphine - Use needinfo]]

[Blocking Requested - why for this release]:

Hey Jayme - yeah we shipped Greek language and have sign-off on it for various versions. To continue supporting Greek on 2.5 we should probably block on this (especially that original issue was a blocker). thanks
