My reply follows. ===8<==============Original message text=============== Hi Giuseppe, I was digging in the archives and came across this; I don't think I ever saw this message (must have been busy at the time). Did you ever get an answer? I'm sure that editing the otp's will get you the result u wanted quite easily, but in the year since u wrote this u've probably figured that out already:-) Best Idri [NTG-context] (Classical) greek in ConTeXt/Gamma Giuseppe Bilotta ntg-context@ntg.nl Thu, 10 Apr 2003 15:40:35 +0200 Hello, I don't know if Idris is following the group (I hope he is), but anyway I have a couple of questions on the support for Greek in ConTeXt, Omega and thus also Gamma.
