Hello,
I am evaluating context for using it to write long greek documents. So far I have not succeeded in typesetting unicode greek in live-context. I have tried scanning the documentation and mailing list archive with no success. I must admit I am not a very technical user. This is what I have tried so far (unseccessfuly):
\enableregime[utf-8] \mainlanguage[gr] \starttext Hello world! Καλημέρα κόσμε! \stoptext
Is there something wrong with that? Sorry if I am wasting your time -- if there is a good "RTFM" answer I would not mind.
ConTeXt Live didn't work because the default font (Latin Modern) has almost no Greek glyphs present. You need to use another font, but then again - the garden might be lacking good greek fonts. You shold add at least \usetypescript[antykwa-torunska] \setupbodyfont[antykwa] and choose XeTeX or LuaTeX. But then again - I bothered Taco so much about the urge to upload the latest version of ConTeXt to CTAN, and completely forgot that the latest LM font release broke the ConTeXt live as well. ConTeXt live is based on TeX Live 2007 + latest ConTeXt - we will probably move it to use the "new minimals". In the meantime I will try to replace the Latin Modern fonts. The misfunction of live ConTeX should not be the showstopper. Mojca
