[texhax] GFS Porson polytonic keymap?

[Yannis Haralambous]

What you describe is a 7-bit input method for Greek, introduced in  
1989 (?) by dear Silvio Levy. Those romantic pre-Unicode days are far  
far away... (together with our youth ;-)

I would suggest you use XeTeX and input your text directly in UTF-8  
using one of the many keyboards available.

To use GFS Porson with XeTeX just ask for \font\x="GFSPorson-Regular"
(as the font is called on my Mac system).

I'm including a TeX file and the resulting PDF: it is a small Greek  
text written in GFS Porson.
