GreeKTeX Ver 3.1 Distribution ----------------------------- K J Dryllerakis Logic Programming Group Imperial College,London kd@doc.ic.ac.uk What it is: 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Note: Two different packages are included in this distribution. (Both based on the same set of fonts). * greektex : an extension of plain tex * grlatex : an extension of LaTeX for greek texts. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ What it Includes: > a complete set of fonts (regular,bold,italic) > for working with plain tex a file to be included which will import the macros and fonts needed to add greek texts within your normal documents (greektex.tex) > for working with an extension of plain tex a set of macros allowing the usage of greek within specific environments and hyphenation patterns for the greek langugage. Choosing to use this option will mean that you will develop the formatting of your text by yourself. (command greektex) > for working with LaTeX a style option that allows entering greek text within specific environments (all standard latex command still work e.g. font size changing). For typesetting texts mainly in greek a new format file which combines the greek enviroment with hyphenation patters and an optional global greek mode. (command grlatex) > A set of utilities that allow the conversion of extended ASCII greek ISO character files to a format understandable by grektex and grlatex. (filter as C-source or emTeX filter table for use with texconv) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ See the Installation Guide (file INSTALL) on how to install the package (what else)! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Distribution Tree: [doc] Documentation On installation and usage, man pages for unix. grlatex.1 Man Pages for grLaTeX package install.tex Installation Notes (plain TeX only) usage.tex Usage Manual (plain TeX only) [latex] Basic Latex files for fomrat building and document styles. grart10.sty grbk10.sty grbook.sty grkhyphen.tex grart12.sty grbk11.sty greek.sty grmode.sty grarticle.sty grbk12.sty grfonts.tex lgreek.tex [tex] Files for building greektex format and greek macros. greek.tex Greek Format Definitions greektex.tex Greek Macros for plain TeX grkhyphen.tex Greek Hyphenation Patterns [mfinput] MF source code for font building. kdaccent.mf kddigits.mf kdidigit.mf kdpunct.mf kdbase.mf kdgr10.mf kdilower.mf kdsl10.mf kdbf10.mf kdgr8.mf kdlig.mf kdti10.mf kdbf8.mf kdgr9.mf kdligcom.mf kdtt10.mf kdbf9.mf kdgreek.mf kdlower.mf kdupper.mf [emtex] grlatex.bat Batch file for grlatex greektex.bat Batch file for greektex greek.asc Map of ISO greek codes for use with texconv greek.tcp binary form of the previous file c_gralatex.bat Batch file for ISO converted grlatex c_grtex.bat Batch file for ISO converted greektex kdgreek.mfj MFJob file for creating the kd fonts [utils] ascii2grtex.c a unix C-filter for transforming ISO standard greek documents to greekTeX compatible form.

The package -although it will create a proper Format file- will not run properly under the Mittelbach convention for font loading. In order to check which on you have see your lfonts.tex file! (To make sure that you do not have to retrieve the standard lfonts.tex I have included in the latex directory -- please note the copyright notices for this file). Hope you enjoy the package.
