Sorry for my belated reaction, but I was away from my e-mail for two weeks. I'm very excited to see that things are moving on the Greek front. Hans, I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean when you say "we need a greek vector and named glyphs." unicode does asign a unique number and name to (almost) any conceivable combination of greek vowel + accents/diacritical signs, for example: "1F00 = greek small letter alpha with psili." I could see whether I can find a map with these corresponding numbers and names somewhere or would be willing to write it myself. Is that what you're looking for?
indeed we need names, something: \startencoding[default] \definecharacter greekA {A} \definecharacter greekB {B} \definecharacter greekC {C} \definecharacter greekD {D} \definecharacter greekE {E} \definecharacter greekZ {Z} \definecharacter greekAvowel {A} % etc \stopencoding \startmapping[iso-8859-7] \definecasemap 182 220 182 \definecasemap 220 182 220 \stopencoding \startencoding[iso-8859-7] % has errors %definecharacter .... 145 % `` %definecharacter .... 146 % '' %definecharacter .... 147 % `` %definecharacter .... 148 % '' %definecharacter .... 162 % 'A %definecharacter .... 171 % (( \definecharacter greekAvowel 182 \definecharacter greekEvowel 184 \definecharacter greekHvowel 185 \definecharacter greekIvowel 186 %definecharacter .... 187 % )) \definecharacter greekOvowel 188 \definecharacter greekUvowel 190 \definecharacter greekWvowel 191 \definecharacter greekidiaerac 192 \definecharacter greekA 193 \definecharacter greekB 194 \definecharacter greekC 195 \definecharacter greekD 196 \definecharacter greekE 197 \definecharacter greekZ 198 \definecharacter greekH 199 \definecharacter greekJ 200 \definecharacter greekI 201 \definecharacter greekK 202 \definecharacter greekL 203 \definecharacter greekM 204 \definecharacter greekN 205 \definecharacter greekX 206 \definecharacter greekO 207 \definecharacter greekP 208 \definecharacter greekR 209 \definecharacter greekS 211 \definecharacter greekT 212 \definecharacter greekU 213 \definecharacter greekF 214 \definecharacter greekQ 215 \definecharacter greekY 216 \definecharacter greekW 217 \definecharacter greekIdiaer 218 \definecharacter greekUdiaer 219 \definecharacter greekavowel 220 \definecharacter greekevowel 221 \definecharacter greekhvowel 222 \definecharacter greekivowel 223 \definecharacter greekudiaerac 224 \definecharacter greeka 225 \definecharacter greekb 226 \definecharacter greekg 227 \definecharacter greekd 228 \definecharacter greeke 229 \definecharacter greekz 230 \definecharacter greekh 231 \definecharacter greekj 232 \definecharacter greeki 233 \definecharacter greekk 234 \definecharacter greekl 235 \definecharacter greekm 236 \definecharacter greekn 237 \definecharacter greekx 238 \definecharacter greeko 239 \definecharacter greekp 240 \definecharacter greekr 241 %definecharacter greeks 242 %definecharacter greeks 243 \definecharacter greekt 244 \definecharacter greeku 245 \definecharacter greekf 246 \definecharacter greekq 247 \definecharacter greeky 248 \definecharacter greekw 249 \definecharacter greekudiaer 250 \definecharacter greekudiaer 251 \definecharacter greekovowel 252 \definecharacter greekuvowel 253 \definecharacter greekwvowel 254 \stopencoding after that we can create a fully expandable unicode vector for greek, like the other unic-* files Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
