- Is there a possibility to write texts with some words in
- Greek (with accents...) with LaTeX?

-
- The Greek fonts by Silvio Levy include all combinations of accents and
- breathings (spiritus asper/lenis) used in classical Greek.
- There are METAFONT sources for roman, bold and typewriter style
- plus a macro package which makes it easy to write long texts in greek.
-
- The sources can be found in
-
- princeton.edu [p] by Silvio Levy
- ymir.claremont.edu [anonymous.tex.babel.greek.levy]
- xydeco.siemens.com
- 129.73.1.101
- (Extract from TeX-FAQ)
-
- I got it from the GERMAN SITE rusmv1.rus.uni-stuttgart.de (129.69.1.12)
- in directory /soft/tex/fonts/metafont/greek-Levy.
-
- I have installed it on a SUN with dvips and also on a 286-AT under MS-DOS
- with emTeX and dvips, and it works fine.
- The fonts are very good except the "iota subscriptum" which looks rather
- like a black square than like a iota. There also seems to be a bug in the
- lowercase gamma METAFONT source, but only in the typewriter style.
-
- > P.S. We ultimately want to produce a postsctipt file....
-
- There will be no problem with dvips (by Tomas Rokicki). It will
- automatically call METAFONT to produce new font sizes (e.g. for
- \magstep5 or other resolutions than 300dpi).
