\noindent\textbf{Warning}: Some people like the Lipsian font shape and want to load it also for writing mathematics with it. No problem, but they shouldn't do this with \pack{teubner}, which is useful only to typeset Greek text. For using other alphabets in mathematics there are more suitable ways that rely on the commands described in the \texttt{fntguide.pdf} distributed with every \TeX\ system in \texttt{\$TEXMFDIST\slash doc\slash latex\slash base/}.

\noindent\textbf{Warning}: You might need to use the \textit{10pt} option because your Greek font collection is the minimal one. But if you are using \texttt{teubner}, you are likely to seek the best possible typeset text; therefore you should download and install the full collection of the Greek CB fonts. This full collection is generally already available with any complete distribution of the \TeX\ system.
-If you are using Latin fonts different from the CM , EC, or LM collections, you have to control what you get with or without the option \textit{boldLipsian}; generally speaking, this option is best used with darker normal fonts; I have tried the Times, the Palatino, and the Fourier ones, and actually this option is desirable. This might not be true with other vector fonts.

With the inclusion of the extended accent macros in the \pack{teubner} package (see below), the named accented glyphs should not be needed anymore; these accented glyph name macros are not defined by default, but for backwards compatibility they are available if the \emph{GlyphNames} option is specified; with the 2013 new Greek support for the \babel\ package, the extended accent macros are defined in a more efficient way and you should not need them any more; therefore, unless you specify this option, you avoid overloading the internal \TeX\ memory areas, thus leaving extra space for more useful packages. I suggest you to let the \emph{default} option \textit{NoGlyphNames} act as its name implies, and make use of the extended accent macros, should the need arise (see below). Moreover, if your keyboard has facilities for entering polytonic Greek, or if you install a keyboard driver that allows you to do so, you can directly input Greek text with the Greek alphabet, without using the transliteration provided by the Greek support for \babel.
