Dear friends,<div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>I am using the fonts of the Greek Font Society regurarly, as I think they are among the most beautiful free greek fonts available. I use them to write my class notes, papers, letters, announcements etc, that is, almost every text that I write in greek. There are, however, a few, sometimes annoying, "errors" in the fonts. If one expands the test text that was given at <a href="http://tug.org/pipermail/xetex/attachments/20071211/ac91a83d/attachment.obj">http://tug.org/pipermail/xetex/attachments/20071211/ac91a83d/attachment.obj</a> and adds a few more characters that are also useful in modern greek, one can see that, from the 26 fonts there are a few things missing or possibly wrong. E.g.:</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>1. The name that XeLaTeX recognises GFS Porson is "GFS Porson Rg"</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>2. There seems to be an error with the "equal sign" (=) in the following fonts:</div><div>Solomos</div><div>Complutum Classic</div><div>Neohellenic Bold Italic</div><div>Neohellenic Regular</div><div>Didot Classic</div><div>Bodoni Classic</div><div>Bodoni Bold Italic</div><div>Bodoni regular</div><div>Artemisia regular</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>3. There is an error with the "Capital letter omega" in Theokritos</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>4. There is an error with the "small letter mu" in Solomos</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>5. There is an error with the "greek ano teleia" (the greek equivalent of a semicolumn, which is a dot placed at the top, unicode char. 0387) in Olga and Solomos.</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>6. There is an error with the definition of "en dash" and "em dash" in the font GFS Didot Bold Italic.</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>7. Many of the fonts come in otf or ttf variants. Usually the ttf variant has fewer errors than the otf.</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>These are the ones that I have found because, as mentioned above, I need to use them. I am not sure if this a problem of the fonts or a combination of the Mac OS system and the fact that GFS developed them with Windows in mind. I have sent an email to the developing team of GFS and, hopefully, they will correct them. In the mean time, is there an easy way to replace these characters from another font?</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Thank you</div><div><br></div><div><div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Lucida Grande; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><div>Alexandros Gotsis</div><div>Technical University of Crete</div><div>Dept. of Sciences</div><div>tel. +30-2821037259</div><div><a href="mailto:gotsis@science.tuc.gr">gotsis@science.tuc.gr</a></div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></span> </div><br></div></body></html>
