<p class=MsoNormal>I have a question which has been asked and answered on this
list - http://www.tug.org/pipermail/xetex/2009-May/013081.html - but the answer
doesn't work.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Polyglossia can't see ancient greek hyphenation files. I
have ticked the ancientgreek language box in Miktex 2.8 settings where it says
that the hyphenation file is loadhyph-grc.tex. There is a file called that in
C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.8\tex\generic\hyph-utf8\loadhyph. I have a file
called gloss-greek.ldf in C:\Documents and Settings\MYNAME\Application
Data\MiKTeX\2.8\tex\xelatex\polyglossia but no file gloss-ancientgreek.ldf<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If I ask for {ancientgreek} I get an error message as below
and the code dores not compile.. If I change this to {greek} I get a different
set of error messages (2nd example below) but the code does then compile and I
get a pdf which looks fine.<o:p></o:p></p>
