[NTG-context] Re: Ancient Greek (bodyfont conflict?)

2 Sep 2004

      Sure, THIS one works.

But what I was asking for was 
how to change the font for all the english text (all the non-greek)?

My attempt was to start the document with:

\usetypescriptfile[type-agaramond.tex]
\usetypescript[AGaramondOldStyle]
\setupencoding[default=ec]
\setupbodyfont[AGaramondOldStyle,10.2pt]

(... and then continue as you have pasted below)

But this gives the error I had sent.
I hope the problem is clearer now. 

Can you help to find a solution?

We can easily use plain English for normal text, and then switch
to greek when we want; as a first try we type the lower and
upper case 26 letters of the latin alphabet and see how they come
out in greek:
\startgreek
a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z \par
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
\stopgreek
As it can be observed, some uppercase letters have strange
outcomes; also, j gives \greek{j} and c gives the
end-of-word sigma \greek{c}; interestingly, s gives either the
normal sigma or the end-of-word one, depending on whether it's at
the end of the word or not: \greek{satrapws}.
Of course we can use the various diacritical signs: accents
(\greek{`a, 'a, ~a}), breathings (\greek{w, a"}) and
subscribed iotas (\greek{a|, h|, w|}) (these last are pretty ugly in my
opinion); observe how they automatically get the correct position
with uppercase letters: (\greek{`A, 'A, ~A, A, A|}).
Can the thing be used for serious work?
