Hi there,
I want to achieve a kind of emphasizing which used in Greek through
letterspacing.
I have tried the LetterSpace and WordSpace properties, but I don't think
they are intended for this.
The proper way seems to be the \so command from the soul package. But
there is a weird issue with Greek glyphs.
Here you have the code:
\documentclass[10pt]{book}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Theano Didot}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setdefaultlanguage{english}
\setotherlanguage[variant=ancient]{greek}
\usepackage{soul}
\begin{document}
This is only a \so{test}.
“Mind” is the English translation for \foreignlanguage{greek
{\so{νοῦς}}.
“Mind” is the English translation for \foreignlanguage{greek}
{\so{νοῦς,}}.
\end{document}
Letterspacing works fine with Latin glyphs. With Greek glyphs there is
something relly weird (and it makes no difference if I use soulutf8
instead of soul): there is no text after punctuation characters, so if
there is no punctuation character, there is no letterspaced text.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks,
Pablo
