Greek letters in different font

Post by Laurentius »

(In XeLaTeX) I use a roman font which does not have greek letters. Can I fix it so that when I write something in Greek, I do not manually have to change font each time? This is especially desireable, because I think it would be preferable to use one single set of interpunction marks. I am currently using a simple \gr{} command, but even this is cumbersome. Thanks in advance!

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

There should be a function in the fontspec package that allows you to define fonts according to the language/script in use.
I'm going to read up on this so that I can provide you with more accurate information.

You've got to use the Polyglossia package. Then write this code to your prologue:

Code: Select all

\newfontfamily\greekfont[Script=Greek]{Type here your font}
