- The Greek fonts
-
-
- The latest version of the "babel" package supports the Greek language. In
- order to be able to use the "greek" option correctly someone must have
- the correct fonts properly installed. The "greek" option uses the new
- fonts designed by Claudio Beccari (beccari@polito.it). The fonts are
- complete, i.e., there are shapes for every possible combination. Moreover,
- the fonts include the big slide size fonts, which were missing in the
- previous font bundle.
-
- Where to find them
-
- All the necessary Greek fonts reside in any of the CTAN nodes. They
- reside in the directory languages/greek/cb. The font bundle includes
- hyphenation patterns plus usage information for the greek option.

+Babel support for Greek
+=======================
+
+:Copyright: © 1997 Apostolos Syropoulos, Claudio Beccari, Johannes Brahms,
+ © 2013 Günter Milde
+:Licence: This work may be distributed and/or modified under the
+ conditions of the `LaTeX Project Public License`_, either
+ version 1.3 of this license or any later version.
+
+:Abstract: Babel-greek is a contributed package providing support for the
+ Greek language and script via the Babel_ system.
+
+
+In 1997, Apostolos Syropoulos added support for the Greek language to the
+"babel" package. The file ``greek.ldf`` provides options for monotonic
+(single-diacritic) and polytonic (multiple-diacritic) modes of writing.
+
+Currently, it only works with LaTeX and 8-bit TeX engines. Users of the
+XeTeX and LuaTeX engines are advised to use the polyglossia_ package
+instead.
+
+News
+----
+
+:2013-05-17: * New maintainer.
+ * The encoding definition file ``lgrenc.def`` moved to the
+ greek-fontenc_ package.
+
+Requirements
+------------
+
+The "babel-greek" package requires the babel_ base package, `Greek text
+fonts`_ in the LGR encoding, and the encoding definition file ``lgrenc.def``
+from the greek-fontenc_ package.
+
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+If possible, get this package from your distribution using its installation
+manager.
+
+Otherwise, make sure LaTeX can find the required files:
+
+* Download and unpack `babel-greek.zip`.
+
+* Run ``tex`` or ``latex`` on the batch file ``greek.ins``.
+
+* Move all files ending in ``.def``, ``.fd``, ``.ldf``, or ``.sty``
+ into a directory searched by TeX.
+
+* To produce the documentation run the files ``usage.tex`` and all files
+ ending in ``.dtx`` through LaTeX.
+
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+Pass the "greek" or "polutonikogreek" options to babel::
+
+ \usepackage[greek]{babel}
+
+For details see `<usage.pdf>`_, `<greek.pdf>`_ and the babel_ documentation.
+Literal input of Greek characters is possible with the greek-inputenc_
+package.
+
+
+Greek text fonts
+----------------
+
+The LGR font encoding is the de-facto standard for typesetting Greek with
+(8-bit) LaTeX. Fonts in this encoding include the `CB fonts`_ (matching CM),
+grtimes_ (Greek Times), Kerkis_ (matching URW Bookman), and the `GFS font
+collection`_. Setup of these fonts as Greek variant to matching Latin fonts
+is facilitated by the substitutefont_ package.
+
+The LGR font encoding generates Greek characters via an ASCII
+transliteration. This enables simple input with a Latin keyboard.
+Characters with diacritics are selected by ligature definitions in the
+font (see `<usage.pdf>`_).
+
+A major drawback of this 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 `Babel` language ``greek`` or ``polutionikogreek``).
+This means that for every Latin-written word or acronym an explicite
+language-switch is required. This problem can only be solved via a
+font-encoding comprising Latin and Greek like the hypothetic T7 or Unicode
+(with XeTeX or LuaTeX).
