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).
