Re: Ancient Greek / a few modules for SW with thanks to GB

Sorry for my belated reaction, but I was away from my e-mail for two 
weeks. I'm very excited to see that things are moving on the Greek 
front. Hans, I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean when you say 
"we need a greek vector and named glyphs." unicode does asign a unique 
number and name to (almost) any conceivable combination of greek vowel 
+ accents/diacritical signs, for example: "1F00 = greek small letter 
alpha with psili." I could see whether I can find a map with these 
corresponding numbers and names somewhere or would be willing to write 
it myself. Is that what you're looking for?

Best

Thomas
