First of all thanks guys for the p( )
pointer.
Hans, re your questions:
(1) what fonts
(2) what encoding
(3) what
labels
1. I use the cbgreek fonts. A complete package was
submitted to ctan on Dec
2002. Size is ~ 65-70 MB with full
support for type1 and tfm that results in
nicely looking pdf
docs. They are the work of A. Syropoulos, one of the
main
contributors to greek babel and omega projects.
2. The
encoding I use is the iso-8859-7. The iso-8859-7.def file is
again
written by A. Syropoulos. This works nicely in both my
Win2k and Linux
environments. A simple Left-Alt/Shift changes
keyboard layout and I can
use both greek and english in my
documents.
3. Re labels I don't know what they
are.
A brief sample of a test tex doc
follows:
%--------------------
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[greek]{babel}
\usepackage[iso-8859-7]{inputenc}
\begin{document}
Κανονικά ελληνικά, \textbf{έντονα ελληνικά},
\textit{πλάγια καλλιγραφικά},
\textsl{απλά πλάγια}.
{\LARGE Κανονικά ελληνικά, \textbf{έντονα
ελληνικά},
\textit{πλάγια καλλιγραφικά}, \textsl{απλά πλάγια}.}
\thispagestyle{empty}
\end{document}
%--------------------
You should get through dvips a test.ps file with
size ~ 158 kb. The
corresponding file through pdflatex is ~ 84 kb. If
desired, I can post them
to the group or mail them to you. The iso-8859-7.def
file you can get
through ctan.
I find I get the best possible results with the
least hassle by using the
newly released teTeX 2.0. The how-to for my setup
is:
After installation of tetex-2.0 (see instructions
on the tetex src tarball)
1. install iso-8859-7.def ->
../texmf/tex/latex/base/
2. expand somewhere the cb.tar.gz fonts tarball and
from it:
a) copy
drivers/*.mf ->
../texmf/fonts/source/public/cbgreek/
b) copy
dvips/cbgreek.map -> ../texmf/dvips/config/
c)
copy mf/*.mf
-> ../texmf/fonts/source/public/cbgreek/
d) copy
tfm/*.tfm ->
../texmf/fonts/tfm/public/cbgreek/
e) copy
type1/*.pfb ->
../texmf/fonts/type1/public/cbgreek/
3. add the following line to the appropriate place
in your
texmf/dvips/config/config.ps file
p +cbgreek.map
4.
add the following line to the appropriate place in your
texmf/pdftex/config/pdftex.cfg file
map +cbgreek.map
5. texhash your system
In this way I have full support for modern greek in
my LaTeX system.
Any other questions you may have feel free to drop
them to me.
