There was no +previewer other than printing the postscript file. +The server was in use in the department of Mathematics until \textsc{1998} +when it suffered a severe crash and was abandoned. In that machine, +the ``Talos'' (Τάλως in Greek), many professor notes, student thesis and +dissertations were written +with its special Greek font that we now revive. The characters were redrawn +by some printouts that I had carefully saved for this purpose, when I was +employed in the late nineties in the department. I am positive that +many colleagues still have printouts from that era and the Talos server. + +The Latin characters (including mathematics) were cmr and in this release +are drawn from NewComputerModern Book weight. However, the Greek part +is of unknown origin. The design is very interesting especially the italic one. +The Italic capitals use what we know as ``mathcal'' for the characters +that are common with Latin and Greek but have matching custom designs +for non common ones. + +The Italic Greek characters will soon find their way into NewComputerModern Math fonts as +a Greek calligraphic. + +Lowercase Greek: +\begin{center} + αβγδεζηθικλμνξοπρσςτυφχψω άέήίόύώ ϊϋ ΐΰ\\ + \textbf{αβγδεζηθικλμνξοπρσςτυφχψω άέήίόύώ ϊϋ ΐ\ ΰ} +\end{center} + +Lowercase Greek Italic: +\begin{center} + \textit{αβγδεζηθικλμνξοπρσςτυφχψω άέήίόύώ ϊϋ ΐ\ ΰ}\\ + \textit{\bfseries αβγδεζηθικλμνξοπρσςτυφχψω άέήίόύώ ϊϋ ΐ\ ΰ} +\end{center} + +Uppercase Greek: +\begin{center} + ΑΒΓΔΕΖΗΘΙΚΛΜΝΞΟΠΡΣΣΤΥΦΧΨΩ ΆΈΉΊΌΎΏ ΪΫ\\ + \textbf{ΑΒΓΔΕΖΗΘΙΚΛΜΝΞΟΠΡΣΣΤΥΦΧΨΩ ΆΈΉΊΌΎΏ Ϊ\ Ϋ} +\end{center} + +Uppercase Greek Italic: +\begin{center} + \textit{Α\,Β\,Γ\,Δ\,Ε\,Ζ\,Η\,Θ\,Ι\,Κ\,Λ\,Μ\,Ν\,Ξ\,Ο\,Π\,Ρ\,Σ\,Τ\,Υ\,Φ\,Χ\,Ψ\,Ω\,Ά\,Έ\,Ή\,Ί\,Ό\,Ύ\,Ώ\,Ϊ\,Ϋ}\\ + \textit{\bfseries Α\,Β\,Γ\,Δ\,Ε\,Ζ\,Η\,Θ\,Ι\,Κ\,Λ\,Μ\,Ν\,Ξ\,Ο\,Π\,Ρ\,Σ\,Τ\,Υ\,Φ\,Χ\,Ψ\,Ω\,Ά\,Έ\,Ή\,Ί\,Ό\,Ύ\,Ώ\,Ϊ\,Ϋ} +\end{center} +%\enlargethispage{2cm} +A sample with mathematics (from NewCM) can be found in the \verb|fontsetup| documentation. +Load the fonts with \verb|\usepackage[talos]{fontsetup}| + +Metrics may change in future releases especially kerning pairs. + + + +\end{document} -- cgit v1.2.3
