As far as I can remember, ConTeXt differs from ISO 639 with ancient Greek.
What ConTeXt considers `agr` is `grc` for ISO 639.
As for other languages, which is the file that has the complete list of languages and its tagging values?

Well, I can check that indirectly (not by Acrobat reading it aloud, but with https://ngpdf.com).
Linux doesn’t have Acrobat Reader available
The venerable 9.5.5 version for Linux is still available for download (from selected places). It is old, allegedly has some security holes involving accessing network resources, and requires a little tender loving care to get working on 64-bit systems. Having said all that, it is my primary PDF reader.

P.S. To stave off the questions about why I use it... It does (far) better font rendering than any of the other Linux programs (excluding web browsers) that I know about. The day someone figures out how to add sub-pixel rendering to any of the other Linux PDF readers might be the day they will be comparable in quality. (Or not.)
when i'm on linux i use okular as that one render quite ok and on windows sumatra pdf which is also ok (there's also okular n windows which views ok); the mupdf based viewers are fast too rendering pdf (and fonts in general) on windows has always been pretty good (there even was an msdos version by adobe) and cleartype has good anti aliasing on linux it depends on the general setup and i always found that ubuntu (xubuntu) was set up right wrt fonts, others were unbearable which is why i stayed on windows; recently i managed to set up opensuse (we use that on a server) to render fonts ok too, although it differs (and over the year i simply became to sentive for that) wrt acrobat .. it doesn't offer anything i need; ok, it has some javascript features that are handy for presentations (managing layers) but as i don't use it in an edit-view cycle i tend to not use these frequently and i've given up on other viewers being compatible Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
