Missing Greek and Coptic glyphs #167
Comments
For my texts the addition of ϖ (03D6) would be useful, thanks. |
I'll have a go at these. |
This glyph is the letter Koppa (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koppa_(letter)). About the shape I think that the angular one fits better with Junicode, but... choose according to your taste! 😃 |
Here is my test file, for your convenience: % !TeX TS-program = xelatex

Thanks--I'll use it for testing. |
Type a). Type e) for italics (perhaps) |
For the third glyph, the so-called digamma, I'd prefer a square shape, as, for example, here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Digamma_uc_lc.svg#/media/File:Digamma_uc_lc.svg Many many thanks for your kind reply to my requests |
Great! Very nice |
Is the lower case alternative theta (ϑ) part of Junicode again? It was initially, and I understand, it was removed later. It would really be good to have these extra Greek characters back in Junicode. It's really good to see Junicode developed again. Thanks for your work. |
They were part of Junicode years ago, before I moved the Greek into its own font. Now my thinking about Greek in Junicode has changed, and I'm very open to requests for added characters. |
Thanks also from me for your renewed interest in Greek! |
This is really good to know. There are a couple of Greek characters referred to as symbols, such as 'GREEK THETA SYMBOL' for 'Character: ϑ U+03D1'. It would be great if those could be included. The ones I know, are: Ϗ ϐ ϑ ϒ ϓ ϔ ϕ ϖ ϗ |
I'd prefer b). Which lowercase stigma did you chose? |
Excellent! Thanks! |
I am not a specialist in Greek, so I will stay out of the detailed discussions. I use the Greek alphabet and that theta for Bactrian and other Iranian languages. Much appreciate that Junicode will once again become a one stop font. I asked the EUP to replace their series font for my book with Junicode which they did :) |
@azeini: I'm glad! As Junicode 2 is still in development, glitches are possible. If you run into any problems let me know, and I'll prioritize fixing them. |
Thank you so much. I am using it in Debian as 'Junicode Two Beta'. A couple of recent articles and presentations have all been fine. |
For uppercase digamma I dislike the serif shape, which resembles F |
For Digamma, would you prefer something more like the lowercase? And do you have a preference in favor of or against a serif on uppercase Stigma? |
I prefer the not serif shapes of uppercase stigma and digamma. |
Thank you very much again!!! |
One more thing: I need to provide for any accents that might be attached. Can you tell me which of these characters (if any) can take an accent, and if so, which accents and where they're attached (e.g. top center, bottom center)? |
These characters don't have accents, except when used as numerals. Ancient numerals 6:~\greeknumeral{6}, 90:~\greeknumeral{90}, 900:~\greeknumeral{900} |
Do people always use the prime sign U+02B9, or do they sometimes use other characters? |
Maybe you're not a technician, but this is what I needed to know! |
These are included in version 1.056, now in the repository. |
Great! Thank you very much! |
P. S.: reutenauer/polyglossia#587 |
Many thanks for all your job again! |
Dear Developer,
I would notice that some glyphs are missing. They are very important, because are used as classical greek numbers. They are the glyphs from unicode tables 03D and 03E, in particular: 03D8, 03D9, 03DA, 03DA, 03DB, 03DC, 03DD, 03DF, 03E0, 03E1.
These glyphs may be useful too: 03D1, 03D5, 03F1 end 03F5.
Cf. https://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0370.pdf
I attach a screenshot of my test file, with which I test the fonts:
Thank you very much in advance,
Domenico
