It’s a font problem because MkII took the greek letters from the math font but MkIV takes them from the text font and Latin Modern doesn’t have lower case greek letters. Wolfgang

If he wants to use Lucida, this would look bad, but the Lucida font does have greek glyphs, however they are in the "math range". This is the case for LM, Lucida and probably a few more fonts. (Another option would be to define the counter to run through greek letters in math font.) Mojca

I'm sorry, I'm telling you nonsense. There are no Greek letters in LucidaBrightOT, but they are present in LucidaBrightMathOT. The italic version starts at 1D6FC and the regural one is in the "normal" Greek range.

See math-map.lua. If you need any help or explanation, please ask. I believe that the following part might be relevant (but only if you need italic): lcgreek = { [0x03B1]=0x1D6FC, [0x03B2]=0x1D6FD, [0x03B3]=0x1D6FE, [0x03B4]=0x1D6FF, [0x03B5]=0x1D700, [0x03B6]=0x1D701, [0x03B7]=0x1D702, [0x03B8]=0x1D703, [0x03B9]=0x1D704, [0x03BA]=0x1D705, [0x03BB]=0x1D706, [0x03BC]=0x1D707, [0x03BD]=0x1D708, [0x03BE]=0x1D709, [0x03BF]=0x1D70A, [0x03C0]=0x1D70B, [0x03C1]=0x1D70C, [0x03C2]=0x1D70D, [0x03C3]=0x1D70E, [0x03C4]=0x1D70F, [0x03C5]=0x1D710, [0x03C6]=0x1D711, [0x03C7]=0x1D712, [0x03C8]=0x1D713, [0x03C9]=0x1D714, [0x03D1]=0x1D717, [0x03D5]=0x1D719, [0x03D6]=0x1D71B, [0x03F0]=0x1D718, [0x03F1]=0x1D71A, [0x03F4]=0x1D6F3, [0x03F5]=0x1D716, }, For regular variant of Lucida it should be enough to use Math font instead of the normal one, but I didn't test or write any code for it. For LM you would have to use the italic version since upright (without resorting to cm-unicode) looks horrible anyway. Mojca

Yeah, appears to be the correct range. Couldn’t test with Lucida, though.
For regular variant of Lucida it should be enough to use Math font instead of the normal one, but I didn't test or write any code for it. For LM you would have to use the italic version since upright (without resorting to cm-unicode) looks horrible anyway.
But if there’s a math font, I’d go with the example that Wolfgang posted; alternatively just wrap the converter into \mathematics: ········································································ \unprotect \def\math_greek_characters#1{\mathematics{\greeknumerals{#1}}} \defineconversion [mathgreek] [\math_greek_characters] \protect ········································································ etc. It will depend on your choice of math font whether you get italics or upright glyphs.

Also, Charles Bigelow just answered that there are plans to include Greek letters into Lucida Bright. This might not help you solve the problem in short term, but the future seems Bright ;) Mojca
