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.
