greek letters in itemize

greek letters in itemize

[Herbert Voss]

Do I need some additional settings to get lower
greek letters in the example? I get only a dot for g

\starttext

\startitemize[g]
\item foo
\item bar
\item baz
\item baz
\stopitemize

\startitemize[G]
\item foo
\item bar
\item baz
\item baz
\stopitemize

\stoptext

It seems to be a bug in code, not the lack of symbols. It fails in
Gentium as well. The code (\greeknumerals{3}) doesn't return anything,
but it works in MKII.

Can you make a example because it works for me:

\setupbodyfont[gentium]
\starttext
\startitemize[g]
\dorecurse{10}{\startitem #1 = \greeknumerals{#1} \stopitem}
\stopitemize
\stoptext

The difference between mkii and mkiv is that mkii use math mode
to display the greek characters while mkiv takes them from
the bodyfont and latin modern has no greek.

LM has upper case Greek, no idea why not lower case as well.

I still find the idea of greek letters in a font called "latin"
interesting... :-)

I'm more interested about the reasoning behind the partial support, it
would either not support Greek at all (after all it is Latin), or fully
support monotonic Greek at least (even though it is Latin, we all love
Greek and Don have already drawn them).

 Khaled
