odt, writer2latex, greek.ttf and ancient greek cites

Post by thibaud74 »

Hello,

My project is to export my philosophy thesis from openoffice to latex. I used writer2latex. However, the export of ancient greek cites is not very clean, event with the -mulilingual=true option. The original text used the greek.ttf police. The export get no error, but greek cites are not clean. This text :

Greeks words have the greek police; when you disable it, you get this:
the ™pist»mh and the œrgon
After parsing the original text with writer2latex, I get this latex code:

Code: Select all

the {\texttrademark}pist{\guillemotright}mh\textit{ } and the {\oe}rgon
So it would be:

Code: Select all

l'\textgreek{>epist'hmh}que dans l'\textgreek{<'ergon}
with, in preambule:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[polutonikogreek,frenchb]{babel}
Is it possible to convert easily the original text ? This is just an extract, and my thesis have some hundreds of pages...

Thanks you,
Thibaud.
