underdot in Greek module

underdot in Greek module

[Bowen Alan C.]

In MKII (with the latest MKIV),

“!” no longer seems to produce underdots (sublinear dots).

\usemodule[ancientgreek] 
[font=GreekDioxipe,scale=1.15,altfont=GreekCanonica,altscale=0.9]

\starttext
\localgrk{>a!n!'h!r}

\stoptext

One can work around this this \d{\grk{...}}, but ...

And is there a command or key for producing diareseis in Greek, again,  
using MKII?

Alan

This has never worked with this particular font because it doesn't  
have a sublinear dot. I get the expected output with a font which does  
have it, e.g. GreekGentium. (Btw, localgrk is not a know command.)

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. These all work for me:  
\localgreek{"'i "i "`i}.

Thanks, Thomas.

“\localgrk” is a typo.

The diaeresis command “ " ” runs afoul of TeXShop and its eagerness to  
present open and closing quotation marks whenever one types  ". I will  
have to look into this: it is not an obvious preference setting.

The lack of a sublinear dot in GreekDioxipe is a pain, since it is the  
font that I am currently using for Aestimatio and I need to keep it  
for the present volume. I will change it for the next volume. In the  
meantime, I will have to resort to my kludge.

All best, Alan
