When I am designing Greek types, I have my work reviewed by Gerry Leonidas
at the typography department of the University of Reading in England.
Gerry's specifications for the tonos are quite explicit: it should never be
entirely veritical, but should slant slightly to the right, although not as
far as the Latin acute in many fonts.
