I'm not searching for the perfect way, just a way to print a greek pdf Suggestions welcome.

Well, the easiest solution is: use a font that does have a full set of Greek characters. The TeXGyre fonts have some Greek characters, but they are not really finished and are not usable right now.

I need an opentype like helvetica , plus some times and courier; ie \usetypescript[postscript] is ok.

You could use Microsofts new Vista fonts (Cambria, Corbel, Consolas ...)

You're trying to fake characters which are not in the font; this is unsatisfying from an esthetical point of view and hackish as for the produced pdf (not cut-and-paste, no search etc.). yes I know, but actually i need only print, and it's low/mid quality. Very raw, I agree.

If it's important for you: for several months now, I have been using a version of my Greek module which works perfectly with mkiv; so far, I haven't seen the necesity to upload it, but I could do it any time (after some clean-up). yes, of course.
