Re: Greek font

[Thomas A.Schmitz <thomas.schmitz@uni-bonn.de>]

Willi,

thanks for your reply! The problem is: I do have proper tfm-files, and 
the font is installed properly (since it works). But given that 
classical (polytonic) Greek demands some unusual features, I think I 
will have to adapt the font by hand. On the /showfont map, for example, 
I can see that a certain "ligature" is in, say, slot 165. Combinations 
of accents [+ breathing] + vowel are produced by the ligature 
mechanisms (let's say that's the character for "alpha with acute accent 
and smooth breathing"). What I would need to do is:
1) tell TeX that the combination ">'a" should be considered a ligature
2) tell my driver that this ligature can be found in slot 165.
Feasible? Or am I shooting for the impossible? Well, I got one step 
further and converted the tfm and vf-files into vp-files that I can 
read--and maybe edit, if only I knew how...
The thing is, the font does work in LaTeX, so it shouldn't be 
impossible to make it work in ConTeXt, right?
Best, Thomas
