\title{Greek LICR definitions with XeTeX/LuaTeX}
\author{Günter Milde}
\maketitle

The file \href{greek-euenc.def.html}{greek-euenc.def} provides support for
Greek LICR macros with XeTeX and LuaTeX. It is automatically loaded by the
\href{textalpha-doc.pdf}{textalpha} and \href{alphabeta-doc.pdf}{alphabeta}
packages as well as \href{http://www.ctan.org/pkg/babel-greek}{babel-greek},
if the font encoding is set to one of the Unicode font encodings EU1 or EU2
(usually via the \href{http://www.ctan.org/pkg/fontspec}{fontspec} package
for font setup with LuaTeX and XeTeX).

With the XeTeX or LuaTeX engines, the user must ensure that the selected
font contains Greek glyphs (the default Latin Modern fonts have only capital
Greek letters) --- there are no warnings for missing glyphs but empty spaces
in the output document. Examples for suitable fonts are the “Deja Vu” or the
“Linux Libertine” OpenType fonts.

See the source of this document \url{greek-euenc-doc.tex} for a setup and
usage example.

\section{LICR input}

LICR macros are a verbose but fail-safe 7-bit ASCII encoding that works
unaltered under both, 8-bit TeX and XeTeX/LuaTeX. Use cases are macro
definitions and generated text.

The example from \texttt{usage.tex} in \emph{babel-greek} input
using LICR macros:

\begin{quote}
  \textTau\'\textiota{}
  \textphi\'\texteta\textiota\textfinalsigma\texterotimatiko{}
  \<\textIota\textdelta\`\textomega\textnu{}
  \>\textepsilon\textnu\texttheta\'\textepsilon\textdelta\textepsilon{}
  \textpi\textalpha\~\textiota\textdelta\'\'
  \>\textepsilon\textlambda\textepsilon\textupsilon\texttheta\'\textepsilon\textrho\textalpha\textnu\\
  \texttau\`\textalpha\textfinalsigma{}
  \textpi\textlambda\texteta\textsigma\'\textiota\textomicron\textnu{}
  \textNu\'\textupsilon\textmu\textphi\textalpha\textfinalsigma{}
  \textsigma\texttau\textepsilon\textphi\textalpha\textnu\textomicron\~\textupsilon\textsigma\textalpha\textnu{},
  \textSigma\'\textomega\textsigma\texttau\textrho\textalpha\texttau\textepsilon{},\\
  \>\textepsilon\textrho\~\textomega\textnu{}
  \'\textalpha\textpi\~\texteta\textlambda\texttheta\textepsilon\textfinalsigma{}
  \textepsilon\>\textupsilon\texttheta\'\textupsilon\textfinalsigma\texterotimatiko{}
\end{quote}

\subsection{Greek alphabet}

Greek letters via LICR macros:

\textAlpha{} \textBeta{} \textGamma{} \textDelta{} \textEpsilon{}
\textZeta{} \textEta{} \textTheta{} \textIota{} \textKappa{}
\textLambda{} \textMu{} \textNu{} \textXi{} \textOmicron{} \textPi{}
\textRho{} \textSigma{} \textTau{} \textUpsilon{} \textPhi{}
\textChi{} \textPsi{} \textOmega{}

\textalpha{} \textbeta{} \textgamma{} \textdelta{} \textepsilon{}
\textzeta{} \texteta{} \texttheta{} \textiota{} \textkappa{}
\textlambda{} \textmu{} \textnu{} \textxi{} \textomicron{} \textpi{}
\textrho{} \textsigma{} \texttau{} \textupsilon{}
\textphi{} \textchi{} \textpsi{} \textomega{}

The small sigma is set with a different
glyph if it ends a word:

\begin{itemize}
  \item[\textsigma]       textsigma
  \item[\textfinalsigma]  textfinalsigma or textvarsigma
\end{itemize}

In the Latin transcription defined by the 8-bit LGR font encoding, the
letter `s' stands for \verb|\textautosigma| which automatically chooses the
glyph according to the position. This macro/feature is not implemented for
Unicode fonts.

\subsection{Additional Greek symbols}

\textKoppa{}      textKoppa                 \\ % Ϟ
\textkoppa{}      textkoppa                 \\ % ϟ

% \textvarstigma{}  textvarstigma \\ % no separate Unicode character
\textStigma{}     textStigma (Sigma-Tau-Ligature in CB-fonts)%
\footnote{the name “stigma” originally applied to a medieval sigma-tau
         ligature, whose shape was confusingly similar to the cursive
         digamma}                      \\ % Ϛ
\textsampi{}      textsampi  \\ % ϡ
\textSampi{}      textSampi  \\ % Ϡ

% numeral signs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_numerals
\textdexiakeraia{}    textdexiakeraia  \\ % ʹ
\textaristerikeraia{} textaristerikeraia \\ % ͵

Mathematical notation uses variant shapes for pi, rho, theta, epsilon, phi,
beta, kappa, and Theta as additional symbols. These variations have no
syntactic meaning in Greek text and are not given separate code-points in
the LGR text encoding. Some text fonts use the variant shapes in place of
the “regular” ones as a stylistic choice.

TeX's concept of “standard” vs. “variant” symbols does not map to the
distinction between “Greek Letter ...” vs. “Greek Symbol ...” in the
Unicode standard:

\begin{tabular}{cccc}
\hline
\multicolumn{2}{c}{TeX math} & \multicolumn{2}{c}{Unicode} \\
symbol & var symbol & “letter” & “symbol” \\
\hline
$\pi$      & $\varpi$       & π & ϖ \\
$\rho$     & $\varrho$      & ρ & ϱ \\
$\theta$   & $\vartheta$    & θ & ϑ \\
\hline
$\epsilon$ & $\varepsilon$  & ε & ϵ \\
$\phi$     & $\varphi$      & φ & ϕ \\
\hline
$\beta$    & \emph{missing} & β & ϐ \\
$\kappa$   & \emph{missing} & κ & ϰ \\
$\Theta$   & \emph{missing} & Θ & ϴ \\
\hline
\end{tabular}

\subsection{Diacritics}

Greek diacritics can be input by named macro or symbol macro. Named macros
are defined in xunicode-greek.sty for \verb|\LastDeclaredEncoding| (here
\LastDeclaredEncoding).

\acctonos\textalpha       \'\textalpha{}  \acctonos       x \'x
\accvaria\textalpha       \`\textalpha{}  \accvaria       x \`x
\accdialytika\textiota    \"\textiota{}   \accdialytika   x \"x
\accperispomeni\textalpha \~\textalpha{}  \accperispomeni x \~x
\accpsili\textalpha       \>\textalpha{}  \accpsili       x \>x
\accdasia\textalpha       \<\textalpha{}  \accdasia       x \<x

There are currently no definitions for accent macros combined with literal
Unicode characters. Combining diacritical characters are used in the output.

\acctonos α       \'α
\accvaria α       \`α
\accdialytika ι   \"ι
\accperispomeni α \~α
\accpsili α       \>α
\accdasia α       \<α

Please mail a feature request if there is demand for definitions selecting
precomposed characters.
As proof of concept, this document defines a composite command for
alpha with psili and perispomeni. Compare \<~α with \>~α.

Composite commands for combined diacritics are defined in
“greek-fontenc.def”, also for the \verb|\LastDeclaredEncoding|. There are
composite definitions for all precomposed characters, the fallback
definition uses combining characters:

\accdialytikatonos\textiota{}     \"'\textiota{} \"\'\textiota{}
\accdialytikatonos x              \"'x           \"\'x
\accdialytikavaria\textiota{}     \"`\textiota{} \"\`\textiota{}
\accdialytikavaria x              \"`x           \"\`x
\accdialytikaperispomeni\textiota{} \~"\textiota{} \~\"\textiota{}
\accdialytikaperispomeni x        \~"x           \~\"x

\accdasiaoxia\textiota{}          \<'\textiota{} \<\'\textiota{}
\accdasiaoxia x                   \<'x           \<\'x
\accdasiavaria\textiota{}         \<`\textiota{} \<\`\textiota{}
\accdasiavaria x                  \<`x           \<\`x
\accdasiaperispomeni\textiota{}   \~<\textiota{} \~\<\textiota{}
\accdasiaperispomeni x            \~<x           \~\<x

\accpsilioxia\textiota{}          \>'\textiota{} \>\'\textiota{}
\accpsilioxia x                   \>'x           \>\'x
\accpsilivaria\textiota{}         \>`\textiota{} \>\`\textiota{}
\accpsilivaria x                  \>`x           \>\`x
\accpsiliperispomeni\textiota{}   \~>\textiota{} \~\>\textiota{}
\accpsiliperispomeni x            \~>x           \~\>x

Problems: Composite diacritics with breathings overlap when set using two
combining characters (in the tested fonts).

Upcasing with \verb|\MakeUppercase| drops diacritics (except
dialytika and sub-iota):

\MakeUppercase{
\accdialytikatonos\textiota       \"'\textiota{}  \accdialytikatonos x       \"'x
\accdialytikavaria\textiota       \"`\textiota{}  \accdialytikavaria x       \"`x
\accdialytikaperispomeni\textiota \~"\textiota{}  \accdialytikaperispomeni x \~"x
}

\MakeUppercase{
\accdasiaoxia\textiota            \<'\textiota{}  \accdasiaoxia x            \<'x
\accdasiavaria\textiota           \<`\textiota{}  \accdasiavaria x           \<`x
\accdasiaperispomeni\textiota     \~<\textiota{}  \accdasiaperispomeni x     \~<x
}

\MakeUppercase{
\accpsilioxia\textiota            \>'\textiota{}  \accpsilioxia x           \>'x
\accpsilivaria\textiota           \>`\textiota{}  \accpsilivaria x          \>`x
\accpsiliperispomeni\textiota     \~>\textiota{}  \accpsiliperispomeni x    \~>x
}

However, when the tonos, varia, and perispomeni accents are input using the
symbol macros (\verb|\' \` \~|), they behave like standard accents with
XeTeX/LuaTeX. If these accents should be dropped by MakeUppercase, they must
be input as named macro:

\MakeUppercase{
\acctonos\textalpha       \'\textalpha{}  \acctonos       x\'x
\accvaria\textalpha       \`\textalpha{}  \accvaria       x\`x
\accperispomeni\textalpha \~\textalpha{}  \accperispomeni x\~x
}

The sub-iota is input after the base letter.
Ligature definitions in the 8-bit LGR fonts ensure that precomposed
characters are used. This does not work with Unicode fonts:\footnote{%
  When copy/pasting generated output from the “evince” PDF
  viewer, the COMBINING GREEK YPOGEGRAMMENI is merged with the base
  character. A capital letter + combining ypogegrammeni results in GREEK
  CAPITAL LETTER ... WITH [.. AND] PROSGEGRAMMENI). This indicates that
  the combining \emph{ypogegrammeni} should also be used together with
  capital base letters.}

\textalpha\ypogegrammeni{} x\ypogegrammeni{}
\textAlpha\prosgegrammeni{} X\prosgegrammeni,
\textAlpha\ypogegrammeni{} X\ypogegrammeni,
see also the \emph{Greek extended} Unicode block below.

Both, the standard LaTeX and the “xunicode” composite mechanism require
the first part of a composite definition to be a macro requiring one
argument.  I.e. selecting pre-defined characters with sub-iota would require
prefix \verb|\accypogegrammeni| and \verb|\accprosgegrammeni| accent
macros and composite definitions for all combination of letters and letters
with diacritic and sub-iota.

\subsection{Greek Extended Unicode block}

Characters from the Greek Extended Unicode block are only partially
supported, accented characters with sub-iota currently use a combining
prosgegrammeni or ypogegrammeni character.

Unicode character:

Ancient Greek Numbers are missing in most fonts (including Libertine and
Deja Vu). The “FreeSerif” font works fine.

\textpentedeka    % GREEK ACROPHONIC ATTIC FIFTY
\textpentehekaton % GREEK ACROPHONIC ATTIC FIVE HUNDRED
\textpenteqilioi  % GREEK ACROPHONIC ATTIC FIVE THOUSAND
\textpentemuria   % GREEK ACROPHONIC ATTIC FIFTY THOUSAND

If the LGR font encoding is loaded via «fontenc» in the document preamble,
Ancient Greek Numbers (as well as any other character) from LGR encoded
8-bit TeX fonts can be used after a font-encoding switch. babel-greek
defines the \verb|\textgreek| command for this purpose:

\providecommand*{\textgreek}[1]{\leavevmode{%
  \fontfamily{cmr}\fontencoding{LGR}\selectfont#1}%
}

\textgreek{
\textpentedeka    % GREEK ACROPHONIC ATTIC FIFTY
\textpentehekaton % GREEK ACROPHONIC ATTIC FIVE HUNDRED
\textpenteqilioi  % GREEK ACROPHONIC ATTIC FIVE THOUSAND
\textpentemuria   % GREEK ACROPHONIC ATTIC FIFTY THOUSAND
}

\section{Latin transcription}

The \verb|\textgreek| macro and LGR encoded fonts can also be used for the
input of Greek letters via the \emph{Latin transcription} provided by the LGR
font encoding%
\footnote{see \emph{The LaTeX font guide} [fntguide.pdf] for details about
font encodings.},
e.g. «logos» becomes «\textgreek{logos}» and «\verb|\>aupn\'ia|» becomes
«\textgreek{\>aupn\'ia}» (capitalised
«\textgreek{\MakeUppercase{\>aupn\'ia}}»). For details of the Latin
transliteration see the teubner package or the file usage.pdf from the
babel-greek package.

Mark, that you cannot use Unicode input with LGR encoded fonts except when
running in 8-bit compatibility mode because of the incompatibility between
Xe/LuaTeX and the inputenc package.

LICR macros work in both, Unicode font encoding and LGR: compare
           \>\textIota\textalpha\textnu\textomicron\textupsilon\textalpha
	   \textrho\acctonos\textiota\textomicron\textupsilon{}
(Unicode font set up via fontspec) vs.
\textgreek{\>\textIota\textalpha\textnu\textomicron\textupsilon\textalpha
           \textrho\acctonos\textiota\textomicron\textupsilon}
(LGR-encoded 8-bit font set up via NFSS commands).
