\section{The LGR encoding for Greek}
-I hope, that all the ligatures work and also the sigma and final sigma is
-used correctly. However, when I look at the automatically generated accented
-capital letters, they do not look very good to me. In my opinion, the accents
-should be (sometimes much) closer to the letter. Look at the following letters
-and you will see what I am talking about: \textgreek{>`A <'O <O >'E >E}.

-Therefore I think that I should add some kerning pairs between the accents and
-the capital letters. I have already an idea how I could do part of this work
-automatically. The result would be that the automatically composed letters
-would look the same as the precomposed letters that are in the fonts. However,
-it is hard to say how much time it will take.
+The capital Greek accented letters are composed from the accent and the
+capital letter. There are (currently) no kerning pairs between these accents
+and capital letters in the fonts. Therefore, I added additional kerning pairs
+for these combinations and I think that the result is much better:
+\textgreek{>`A <'O <O >'E >E}.
+
+The combination accent and capital letter doesn't still give the same result
+as the precomposed letter. The combination has bigger left side bearing than
+the precomposed letter. I may do something with it later, but the most visible
+problem for me was the position of accents.
+
+The extra kerning pairs are not included in the fonts, but were used to
+generate the tfm files and I put them to the package for the case you want
+to look at them.
