- ANNOUNCEMENT: GreekTeX ver 3.1
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- After some review work and bug fixes I have realeased the new version
- of the greekTeX package based on the kd greek family of fonts. Here
- is an extract from the readme file:
-
- GreekTeX is a complete package for typesetting greek
- (modern or ancient) texts within the framework of
- plain TeX or LaTeX. It supplies a set of fonts based
- on the excellent ones originally developed by
- Sylvio Levi in the States and the modifications made
- thereafter by Haralambous in France.
- The approach adopted is different from both the
- previous ones since it uses full 256 character fonts
- and ligatures as the principal method of accenting
- or "breathing" letters. This makes the macros more
- robust and easier to use within TeX and LaTeX
- environments.
-
-
- The new package has been placed on our local archive in the directory
- pub/tex
- sappho.doc.ic.ac.uk (146.169.21.14)
- anonymous FTP
-
- Differences from the Previous release
- * Fixed font bugs in ligatures and added some more characters
- according to suggestions by J"org Knappen (J"org, thanks for
- your comments and fixes)
- * Integrated Unix and Dos Release
- * Unix and Dos (emtex) filters for translating greek ISO standard
- character files to tex input files (for modern greek)
-
- Thanks to all the people that helped in the way and who contributed
- with their bug reports and suggested fixes.
