Text Formatting ⇒ textgreek | 12pt Font Size and Bitmap Substitution

[cbkschroeder]

Hello,

Thank you for reading my posting.

I'd like to use the textgreek package while making a 12 point font-size document with MikTeX's pdflatex and T1 encoding. Invoking a greek character (for example, \textlambda) in a 10 point document generates a nice-looking upright lambda. Changing to a 12 point document seems to cause pdflatex to substitute in an ugly bitmapped lambda. Based on what I've read, this is because the cbgreek fonts are only provided in 10 point size; perhaps I'm wrong.

Can anyone provide a strategy such that, in my 12 point document, I can invoke non-bitmapped upright greek characters using textgreek?

Thank you for your time,

Christian

I've just tried an example with textgreek v0.5 on texlife on my Ubuntu system. \textlamda works fine in 12pt. pdflatex lists the font files used and one of it is /usr/share/texmf-texlive/fonts/type1/public/cbfonts/grmn1200.pfb

I suspect that the problem lies in your latex installation, or more specifically the installation of the cbgreek fonts.
