This version allows the typesetter to use both "italic" shapes: the Olga-like
-and the Lipsian-like ones; it complies with the LICR (LaTeX Internal Character
-Representation) of the Greek glyphs that avoid the kerning problems that arise
-with the ligature mechanism embedded in the LGR encoded default CBfonts; it is

Running pdflatex on the .dtx file produces both the documentation and
extracts the byproduct files teubner.sty, teubnertx.sty, teubner.pdf.

Moreover this teubner package generates on the fly the font description files
necessary to use the LGR encoded Greek fonts with some non standard TeX
-PostScript fonts; for example, it automatically generates the necessary files if using
-the TX or the PX fonts; with other Type 1 fonts the necessary .fd files require
-manual intervention, which simply means giving a suitable command from within another
-open file that loads teubner.

-Please, be sure to work with a 2010 updated collection of the CBfonts; with a 2014
-updated version of the TeX system; with a babel version 3.9g or later; with the
-language description file greek.ldf version 1.9b or later. The teubner package works also with previous versions of the above pieces of software, but with limited performances.
