Text Formatting ⇒ Full justify with greek text

[bstex]

Hi.
Does anyone know why this is happening with the justify on my Greek text? Some letters are going OUT of the justify line. It doesn't happen when I type English text.
Maybe hyphenation is a solution, but I would like not to use hyphenation on Greek text.

Thank you in advance.

P.S. The text on the image contains understandable Greek words. Don't try to understand them.

Hi,

it looks like hyphenation is disabled. This could be a property of the font. And you may need to load the right font encoding. Loading the microtype package may help too.

Can you post a small compilable code with the document settings in your preamble (same font settings, same page width etc.) with that text as sample, so we can test a fix? If the text contains some information, you don't want to see online, we can remove the text after the problem is solved.

Hi,
I changed my main font to "Times New Roman" and I have the same problem, so I don't think that the problem is the "Myriad Pro" font that I use.

My "structure.tex" file contains this code:

The Greek font is Times New Roman or Myriad Pro? Sure that it's not another font and Times or Myriad Pro is used for English?

Just seeing the structure.tex doesn't let me reproduce and test the problem. No greek text here.

Hope this helps now:

No, it doesn't. Did you test it?
Please test your code and ensure that it shows Greek and the problem. Even if I fix it (defining ocre color because of an error...) I get this:

Yes, my .pdf file shows greek text correctly. Maybe you don't have the "Myriad Pro" font on your computer.

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Ok, it took another structure.tex from the template. Now I copied in yours. You could make working on it easier by post in self-contained examples, that just need to be compiled, instead of posting several snippets to be combined, and I still had to fix errors before testing (lightblue4 undefined, xcolor option clash).

Using polyglossia helps:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{polyglossia} 
\setotherlanguage{greek}
\setmainlanguage{english} 
...
\begin{exercise}
\foreignlanguage{greek}{Λορεμ ιπσθμ ...}
\end{exercise}

Stefan

[bstex]

I'm really sorry for the inconvenience. I just removed some text that I thought wasn't necessary...
Well, I have mixed text (english and greek) on my book, even in the same sentences.
So, polyglossia will not be so useful for me.

[Stefan Kottwitz]

But this works, just use \foreignlanguage{greek}{...} to switch to greek and otherwise use English. No problem mixing it. You can also define yourself a macro with shorter name, for easier typing.

Code: Select all

\newcommand{\gr}[1]{\foreignlanguage{greek}{#1}}

... english text \gr{Λορεμ ιπσθμ...} more english text ...
