This provides a short test of the characters in the 4th century \textsc{bc} Greek
font
--- the \verb|givbc| font family.
\begin{center}
The smooth font in Large size \\
{\givbcfamily\Large \abc \par
}
\end{center}
\begin{center}
The font in its normal size, both smooth and rough, and for comparison, transliterated into
Modern Greek. \\
\textgivbc{\Acomms} \\ \textgivbc{\ARcomms} \\
\translitgivbc{\Acomms} \\
\end{center}
GREEK in Greek is: \textgivbc{greek}.
The next lines of `Greek' are produced by the following code (note that
the Greeks had no punctuation marks):
\begin{verbatim}
{\givbcfamily this font gomes in both a rough and a smooT
form \quad
Tis is Te smooT form \quad at Tis time Te
greeks no longer used boustrofedron riting}
\end{verbatim}
