Although electronic rather than printed, I have published something not too
dissimilar to such an edition on the website
website.lineone.net/~nt.in.greek
It is in unicode font format (sorry Mac users!) which means that the text
can be cut and pasted (book by book) and printed out for one's own use in
one of the half dozen or so unicode fonts now available (listed on the
site).
I don't claim it is typo-free, and I'd welcome anyone drawing attention to
any errors via the email address on the site
I use this text for the simple pleasure of reading (as opposed to studying)
the NT in an unencumbered form. But I'd warn you that my views on accents,
smooth breathings and the like might not suit everyone.
