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!

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}
Hope it'll help.
