Text Formatting ⇒ Bold Greek Letters

[karthos]

I am trying to make some words in greek bold, but no matter what I try fails. I use \usepackage[english,greek]{babel} because I need both greek and english in my paper and I also use \usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}. Both \bf and \textbf work fine for the english words, but when I try them on the greek words (after the \selectlanguage{greek} or \textgreek commands) they do not seem to work. The text is printed just the same as without these commands. What can I do?

Hi Karthos,

welcome to the forum!

There's no problem doing it in the way you described. This works and prints greek letters in bold:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[english,greek]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
\begin{document}
\selectlanguage{english}
Text
\selectlanguage{greek}
ελληνικά
\textbf{ελληνικά}
\end{document}
