+<p>The <a class="reference external" href="http://www.ctan.org/pkg/fontenc">fontenc</a> standard package supports TeX font encodings via
+<cite>encoding definition files</cite>. The mechanism is explained in
+[<a class="reference internal" href="#fntguide">fntguide</a>], section&nbsp;5. This package provides encoding definition
+files for <a class="reference internal" href="#greek-text-font-encodings">Greek text font encodings</a> for use with <a class="reference external" href="http://www.ctan.org/pkg/fontenc">fontenc</a> and
+8-bit TeX engines. Currently, only <a class="reference internal" href="#lgr">LGR</a> is supported.</p>

+<h1>Installation</h1>
+<p>If possible, get this package from your distribution using its installation
+manager.</p>
+<p>Otherwise, make sure LaTeX can find the file <cite>lgrenc.def</cite>:</p>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li><p>Download and unpack <cite>greek-fontenc.zip</cite> or just download <a class="reference external" href="lgrenc.def">lgrenc.def</a>.</p></li>
+<li><p>Copy/Move/Link <tt class="literal">lgrenc.def</tt> to a suitable place in the <a class="reference external" href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=tds">TDS</a> and run
+<tt class="literal">texhash</tt>, or place it in the current working directory (e.g. for
+testing).</p></li>
+</ul>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="usage">
+<h1>Usage</h1>
+<p>Pass the encoding name as option to <a class="reference external" href="http://www.ctan.org/pkg/fontenc">fontenc</a>. For example, specify T1
+(Latin) as default font encoding and LGR for Greek with</p>
+<pre class="literal-block">\usepackage[LGR,T1]{fontenc}
+</pre>
+<p>See <a class="citation-reference" href="#fntguide" id="id2">[fntguide]</a> for details and <a class="reference external" href="lgrenc-test.tex">lgrenc-test.tex</a> for an example.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="greek-text-font-encodings">
+<h1>Greek text font encodings</h1>
+<p>Greek TeX font encodings are the envisaged <a class="reference internal" href="#t7">T7</a>, <a class="reference internal" href="#lgr">LGR</a>, and <a class="reference internal" href="#lgi">LGI</a>.
+Greek letters and symbols are also defined in the Unicode-based font
+encodings EU1 (XeTeX), EU2 (LuaTeX) and PU (<a class="reference external" href="http://www.ctan.org/pkg/hyperref">hyperref</a>).</p>
+<div class="section" id="t7">
+<h2>T7</h2>
+<p>The <a class="citation-reference" href="#encguide" id="id4">[encguide]</a> reserves the name T7 for a Greek <cite>standard font encoding</cite>.
+However, up to now, there is no agreement on an implementation because the
+restrictions for general text encodings are too severe for typesetting
+polytonic Greek.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="lgr">
+<h2>LGR</h2>
+<p>The LGR font encoding is the de-facto standard for typesetting Greek with
+(8-bit) LaTeX. Fonts in this encoding include the <a class="reference external" href="http://www.ctan.org/pkg/cbgreek-complete">CB fonts</a> (matching CM),
+<a class="reference external" href="http://www.ctan.org/pkg/grtimes">grtimes</a> (Greek Times), <a class="reference external" href="http://www.ctan.org/pkg/kerkis">Kerkis</a> (matching URW Bookman), and the <a class="reference external" href="http://www.ctan.org/pkg/gfs">GFS font
+collection</a>. Setup of these fonts as Greek variant to matching Latin fonts
+is facilitated by the <a class="reference external" href="http://www.ctan.org/pkg/substitutefont">substitutefont</a> package.</p>
+<p>The LGR font encoding allows to access Greek characters via an ASCII
+transliteration. This enables simple input with a Latin keyboard.
+Characters with diacritics can be selected by ligature definitions in the
+font (see <a class="citation-reference" href="#greek-usage" id="id5">[greek-usage]</a>, <a class="citation-reference" href="#teubner-doc" id="id6">[teubner-doc]</a>, <a class="citation-reference" href="#cbfonts" id="id7">[cbfonts]</a>).</p>
+<p>A major drawback of the transliteration is, that you cannot access Latin
+letters if LGR is the active font encoding (e.g. in documents or parts of
+documents given the <cite>Babel</cite> language <tt class="literal">greek</tt> or <tt class="literal">polutionikogreek</tt>).
+This means that for every Latin-written word or acronym an explicit
+language-switch is required. This problem can only be solved via a
+font-encoding comprising Latin and Greek like the envisaged <a class="reference internal" href="#t7">T7</a> or
+Unicode (with XeTeX or LuaTeX).</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="lgi">
+<h2>LGI</h2>
+<p>The ‘Ibycus’ fonts from the package <a class="reference external" href="http://www.ctan.org/pkg/ibygrk">ibygrk</a> implement an alternative
+transliteration scheme (also explained in <a class="citation-reference" href="#babel-patch" id="id8">[babel-patch]</a>).
+It is currently not supported by <cite>greek-fontenc</cite>.</p>
+<p>The font encoding file <tt class="literal">lgienc.def</tt> from <a class="reference external" href="http://www.ctan.org/pkg/ibycus-babel">ibycus-babel</a> provides a basic
+setup (without LICR macros or composite definitions).</p>
