+Warning
+-------
+
+LGR is no "standard font encoding". Latin characters and some other ASCII
+symbols are mapped to Greek equivalents if LGR is the active font encoding.
+(See usage.pdf_ for a description of this Latin-Greek transliteration.)
+
+This means you need an explicit font-encoding switch for Latin words and
+abbreviations in Greek text, e.g.,
+not ``\foreignlanguage{greek}{((ηία αντίσταση 750-kΩ))}``
+but ``\foreignlanguage{greek}{((ηία αντίσταση 750-\textlatin{k}Ω))}``.
+Special care is also required with the **question mark characters**: While
+the Unicode standard says character ``003B SEMICOLON`` (and not 037E) is the
+preferred character for `Greek question mark', the LGR font encoding maps it
+to a middle dot (ano teleia), while the Latin question mark is mapped to the
+erotimatiko. As a result, only the deprecated character ``037E GREEK QUESTION
+MARK`` works with both, Xe/LuaTeX and 8-bit TeX.
