Two questions concerning greek modules:
1. I switched to the new minimal installation (on a Mac and an ubuntu
system) and noticed that I had to install the cb-fonts (for
\usemodule[greek]) myself. Will the fonts be included in the future?
(Just a question; I think they should be).
2. I wanted to try the t-greek-2008.05.11 module and unzipped in
texmf-local (where I keep my fonts). The "Greek in proper context"
etc. articles seem to be outdated, but from the sources I gathered that
\usemodule[ancientgreek] or \usemodule[oldgreek] may be used, the latter
only if the former doesn't work. I have the following problems/questions:
A. \usemodule[ancientgreek] doesn't work (mark ii or mark iv). It gives
me, e.g.:
! Missing number, treated as zero.

\defineactivecharacter | {...

l.6 \localgreek{mo~usa,}
?
B. \usemodule[oldgreek] works with the default font or with Teubner
(mark ii and mark iv). But not with Gentium, although the TrueType fonts
are installed in texmf-local>fonts>truetype>greek>gentium:
!pdfTeX error: pdftex (file gentium): Font gentium at 720 not found
==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!
There is no pdf file in the "doc" directory. Maybe a new version is
under construction?
Why is it better to use the module "ancientgreek"?
Thanks, Jörg
