Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ Greek Font not recognized

[AleCes]

Hello everybody,

I've got a Greek-only font (no Latin characters) that polyglossia none the less refuses to recognize as a Greek font!

Minimum example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a5paper, openany, 10pt]{book}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\defaultfontfeatures{Mapping=tex-text}
\setmainfont{GFS Didot Classic}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setmainlanguage[variant=poly]{greek}

\begin{document}
Ἤμουν στὸ σπίτι μου ἐγὼ.
\end{document}

I didn't manage to upload the font here because OTF extension isn't allowed but you can download it here.

The error message I get is the following:

Code: Select all

! Package polyglossia Error: The current roman font does not contain the Greek script!
(polyglossia)                Please define \greekfont with \newfontfamily.

See the polyglossia package documentation for explanation.
Type  H <return>  for immediate help.

Doing what is suggested seems to do the trick pretty well, i think?

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a5paper, openany, 10pt]{book}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\newfontfamily\greekfont[Mapping=TeX]{GFSDidot_Classic.otf}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setmainlanguage[variant=poly]{greek}

\begin{document}
\greekfont
Ἤμουν στὸ σπίτι μου ἐγὼ.
\end{document}

Hello Johannes_B!

Actually, the error message says the font doesn't have a Greek typeface, no?
Anyway, thanks for the tip!
