Typos in LSJ

Not sure what the error is that you see in the first case.
The second one might be a matter of the font you are using to display Greek. The word is spelled out correctly for me. I use Gentium for Greek display.
The third example is an error I also see in my copy.
You can report these using the typo feature in the right click menu, although it is a bit more difficult to use in Greek.

In the first example, the correct citation appears to be Polyaen.1.30.5. I will verify this with a hard copy.
As for the second example: I am using standard Windows fonts and a standard Logos installation. In any case, if it is ζõντας καὶ νεκρούς then the coding should use an o/omicron that is pre-combined with the tilde/circumflex, as I have done in this post, instead of separate diacriticals.The third is probably an OCR error that passed at proofing stage (if there was one).

In which case you are probably using Gentium. However check under Tools>Program Settings>Fonts>Greek font to verify.
You seem to be right about the first example, as the online version of LSJ at Perseus shows 1.30.5.

Can't imagine there wasn't but errors do slip through.

I have "Default" under Greek font. Anyway, it should be immaterial whether it is set to Gentium, so long as pre-combined diacriticals are used in the encoding, which is the Unicode convention nowadays.

On Windows, appears Default and Palatino Linotype fonts are missing circumflex accent characters.

I can confirm that Unicode character U+00F5, which can be used to encode this character, exists in my version of Palatino Linotype and Cambria.Note: Unicode has not adopted the pre-composed OMICRON WITH PERISPOMENI glyph. The canonical encoding for this character appears to be U+03BF//U+03420
