To clarify - most of modern fonts do in deed have latin-greek-cyrillic
(including the U+03BB lambda), but I was referring to the specific
math symbols such as the U+1D6CC bold lam(b)da, which reside in the
Supplementary Multilingual Plane (SMP). Those are indeed not present
in my fonts, including Lucida Math and Adobe Mathematical Pi).
