Problem with typing in Greek

Post by stefanos87 »

Hello,

My Latex editor is TeXnicCenter and my Latex Distribution is MikTex (last versions). I can perfectly work with these in English. However, I want to type in Greek too but I can not. I load :
\usepackage[english,greek]{babel}
\usepackage[iso-8859-7]{inputenc}

but it only gives me a warning saying that: ''no hyphenation patterns were loaded for the language 'greek'. I will use the patterns loaded for \language=0 instead.'' and basically gives my no output. Also, when I try to type Greek in TXC it gives me strange unreadable characters (like ''aaooaoo'', with dots above them) instead of greek characters.

Do I have to make changes in TXC? I can not understand what the problem is.

Could you please help?

Thank you very much for your time and help.

Wishes,
Stefanos.

Problem with typing in Greek

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{report}
\usepackage[english, greek]{babel}
\usepackage[iso-8859-7]{inputenc}

\begin{document}
\selectlanguage{greek}
Κείμενο στα Ελληνικά και \textlatin{in latin}!
\end{document}
Have you tried something like the above? If it still not working, try adding the greek hyphen option manually from the miktex settings.

Hope it helps, Dimitris :)
\LaTeX ftw.
