Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ Greek and English

[ac10]

Hello,

I'm trying to make an English document with a Greek summary at the start.

I found the following example of how to use both languages. However, now it doesn't seem to work. I just get semi-colons instead of Greek text.

Does anyone know what the problem might be? Thanks in advance...

Code: Select all

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

\begin{document}

\section{Εισαγωγή}

Σήμερα είδα για πρώτη φορά το
\selectlanguage{english} site
\selectlanguage{greek}του Γιάννη.

\end{document}

Do you get any warning regarding font or input encoding? It works for me, though I had to change the encoding to utf8x on my side. Click on "Open in writeLaTeX" above my example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[english,greek]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}

\begin{document}

\section{Εισαγωγή}

Σήμερα είδα για πρώτη φορά το
\selectlanguage{english} site
\selectlanguage{greek}του Γιάννη.

\end{document}

Thanks for the reply.

I changed to utf8x and got this warning:

Package utf8x Error: Character185appearedalone.

So I guess your real encoding is different to utf8x, you may use the encoding which works for you. But ensure that the Greek font is installed.

Or try working with writeLaTeX for the moment until your local problem is fixed. This online compiler can export the PDF for you.
