(monotonic) Greek

(monotonic) Greek

[Adam Lindsay]

Hey all.

Hans and I are working on sorting out the greek Antykwa Torunska font
support, and I noticed in the existing files that there is a fairly
minimal iso-8859-7 greek encoding already implemented (enco-grk).

Here's the question: does anyone encode their fonts using this? 
Is anyone so dependent on it that it would be a bad thing if it went
away and was replaced with a (mostly) compatible new greek encoding
(sort of iso-8859-7 married with TeXnANSI)?

Speak up now, because Hans is in a cut-out-the-legacy-crap mood... ;)

Hi Adam,

How do I have to interprete the brackets in the topic? Will there be 
also support for the polytonic Greek or are those glyphs not included in 
the Antykwa Torunska font-sets? - Can't comment on your question, sorry.

Hi Willi,

Sorry I was unclear.
This is a question to only users of modern greek. The encoding we're
looking at replacing (iso-8859-7) handles modern greek only. We're
really happy with the polytonic support from Thomas Schmitz.

Sort of implicit in all that is that (currently--I have no idea about
future plans), Antykwa Torunska only handles monotonic greek.
