Thanks to Giuseppe Bilotta's help, I managed to typeset classical Greek with the CB-Greek fonts. Everything works, the accents are in the right places etc., yet the original CB-Greek doesn't look very good in pdfs. I have a very beautiful Greek font that comes with the LaTeX "psgreek"-package; it works in LaTeX and is, according to the manual, encoded with the same map as CB-Greek (in LaTeX, the encoding is called lgrenc.def, but I couldn't find any useful imformation in that file). I wrote a typescriptfile to use it in ConTeXt. The font works, all the glyphs are there, as I can see with a \showfont, but they're not in the right slots, which means that it doesn't build the correct ligatures for displaying accents etc. I assume I need to write a new encoding file to reassign the glyphs to their new position. I'd be willing to do this by hand (there aren't too many of them, after all), but how do I go about that?
What I have got about this font (it's called "GreekOxonia," and in my eyes, it's the most beautiful typeface that's out there for classical Greek):
greeoxon.pfb
greeoxon.sfd
greeoxon.sfd~
greeoxon.afm
greeoxon.tfm
a map file psgreek.map
and a couple of accompanying .vf, .ovf and .ofm-files (all of them containing just a few characters of gibberish when I try to open them).
Can anybody give me a hint where I could start? Any help would be most appreciated!
Best
Thomas
