Do I need some additional settings to get lower greek letters in the example? I get only a dot for g \starttext \startitemize[g] \item foo \item bar \item baz \item baz \stopitemize \startitemize[G] \item foo \item bar \item baz \item baz \stopitemize \stoptext MTXrun | current version: 2010.10.29 18:15 Herbert

does the font that you use have greek symbols? ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

It seems to be a bug in code, not the lack of symbols. It fails in Gentium as well. The code (\greeknumerals{3}) doesn't return anything, but it works in MKII. Mojca

Can you make a example because it works for me: \setupbodyfont[gentium] \starttext \startitemize[g] \dorecurse{10}{\startitem #1 = \greeknumerals{#1} \stopitem} \stopitemize \stoptext The difference between mkii and mkiv is that mkii use math mode to display the greek characters while mkiv takes them from the bodyfont and latin modern has no greek.

LM has upper case Greek, no idea why not lower case as well. Regards, Khaled -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localiser and member of Arabeyes.org team Free font developer

I still find the idea of greek letters in a font called "latin" interesting... :-) Best Martin

I'm more interested about the reasoning behind the partial support, it would either not support Greek at all (after all it is Latin), or fully support monotonic Greek at least (even though it is Latin, we all love Greek and Don have already drawn them).
