Hello, I'm a new Xetex user, and am having troubles
with Ancient Greek hyphenation. I searched your
mailing lists' archive for answers, but they seem
unintelligible to me. Would any of you be willing to
help? Mind you, that I'm a novice still, and know very
little about Tex, so please try to keep the answer as
simple as possible.
The code used in TexShop:
%!TEX TS-program = xelatex
%!TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode
\documentclass[BCOR12mm,DIVcalc]{scrbook}
\usepackage{fontspec,xltxtra,xunicode} % I inserted
this because it works, but I don't know exactly what
it does
\defaultfontfeatures{Mapping=tex-text}
\setromanfont[Mapping=tex-text]{Hoefler Text}
\setsansfont[Scale=MatchLowercase,Mapping=tex-text]{Gill
Sans}
\setmonofont[Scale=MatchLowercase]{Andale Mono}
\newfontfamily{\G}{Galatia SIL}
\begin{document}
{\G
Ancient Greek Text
}
\end{document}
Up to here, I managed to display Greek fonts
correctly, but I get overfull boxes and don't see any
hyphenation.
Then I downloaded a Greek hyphenation package
specifically for Xetex containing the files
xgrahyph.tex, xgrcodes.tex and xgrmhyph.tex, and put
the folder in my version of the Tex directory at
usr/library/texmf/tex/latex (btw, I'm using Mac OS X.)
After that, I changed the language.dat file by
disabling greek (which I assume is the non-unicode
version) with the % sign, and added another "greek"
with xgrahyph.tex. Finally, I ran fmtutil --all.
Nothing.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Augustinus
