This accompanies the teubner bundle version 3.4 dated September 2012.

Copyright 2010-2012 Claudio Beccari

The  bundle contains the files

README                  this file
teubner.txt             a more descriptive file
teubner.dtx             the selfextracting documented TeX source file
teubner-doc.tex         an extended documentation file

The bundle is distributed under the LPPL license version 1.3c or any later version.

The bundle has the status of author maintained.

The main purpose of this bundle is to provide classical philologists with some
means for typesetting their documents that usually contain very specific notation.

This new version allows the typesetter to use both "italic" shapes: the Olga-like
and the Lipsian-like ones; it contains extended accent macros that avoid the kerning
problems that arise with the ligature mechanism embedded in the LGR encoded default
CBgreek fonts; is compatible with the use of different scalable Latin Type~1 fonts; 
contains new designs for the horizontally stretchable markers, et cetera.

Running pdflatex on the dtx file produces both the documentation  and the extraction
of the byproduct files teubner.sty, teubnertx.sty, teubner.pdf, and 
LGRaccents-glyphs.def. The latter might be separately input and used also without 
the teubner bundle. The readable extended documentation file teubner-doc.pdf is 
obtained by running pdflatex on the teubner-doc.tex file.

Moreover this new version of the teubner package generates on the fly the font 
description files necessary to use the LGR encoded Greek fonts with non TeX standard 
PostScript fonts; for example it automatically generates the necessary files if using 
the TX or the PX fonts; with other Type 1 fonts the necessary .fd files require 
manual intervention, which simply means giving a suitable command from within another 
open file that loads teubner.

Please, be sure to work with a 2010 updated collection of the CBgreek fonts.
