This accompanies the teubner bundle version 3.0 dated April 2010.

Copyright 2010 Claudio Beccari

The  bundle contains the files

README                  this file
teubner.txt             a more descriptive file
teubner.dtx             the documented TeX source file
teubner.ins             the installation file
teubner-doc.pdf         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.

The byproducts of the installation consists in a LGRaccents-gyphs.def file that might
be separately input and used also without the teubner bundle. Moreover this new
version generates on the fly the necessary font description files necessary to use the
LGR encoded Greek fonts with non TeX standard PostScript fonts; for example it
automatically generates the necessary .fd 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.
