Archaic Greek?

2020-04-18 Thread Bernd 

I am looking for an archaic Greek font. (Not sure it is the right forum...)

I downloaded one from MiKTeX (https://ctan.org/pkg/greek6cbc) and the
whole archaic bundle, but I cannot get it to work -- maybe incompatible
with Unicode?

Any alternative suggestions are welcome!

Kind regards,

Bernd

Is that different to Ancient Greek?

Perhaps the GFS fonts (included in texlive) fit the bill?

Or the full Gentium font?

Well, "archaic" is older... see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archaic_Greek_alphabets.

Unfortunately, the characters depicted there are images. I prefer a font...

Kind regards,

Bernd

PS:

I found a promising Unicode font (Aegean https://dn-works.com/ufas/
), but I cannot get the alternative
glyphs to work.

For example, I tried
{\fontspec{Aegean}[StylisticSet=8,CharacterVariant=7:2]𐌈}, but I always
get standard glyph...

Did you compile with LuaLaTex or XeLaTeX?

Tried in with LuaTex, same outcome: only standard characters.

It is as if the font is loaded but ignoring the variants. Which is
strange because in Linux Libertine I can access the variants without
problems.

Maybe I made a "grammatical" error?
