Within a document in ngerman
or english
, I'd like to have some Greek text using babel
's polutonikogreek
. It seems there are two options for including greek text:
\textgreek{mikra'iti mouse~ion}
which seems good for single words and short passages, and for longer passages
\selectlanguage{polutonikogreek} mikra'iti mouse~ion
Using my standard setup (cf. below) including \documentclass[12pt]{article}
, both options produce ugly pixelated output, technically speaking, it uses a Type 3 font, which doesn't happen for normal text:
This problem doesn't appear when using 10pt, in this case, a Type 1 font is used.
How do I get Type 1 fonts for polutonikogreek
in 12Pt (and other sizes)? Here's my setup / a MWE:
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[polutonikogreek,english]{babel}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\begin{document}
\textgreek{mikra'iti mouse~ion}
\selectlanguage{polutonikogreek} mikra'iti mouse~ion
\end{document}
I use pdfTeX 1.40.11 by MiKTeX 2.9
Interestingly, this issue appears even in a manual for the greek
option in babel
, so it doesn't seem to be trivial. Then again, the manual is from 1997.
P.S.: You'll notice there's also an issue with the circumflex accent, but I thought I'd post this as a separate question once this one's solved.
\textgreek{}
: "Please note that certain symbols cannot have their expected result for Greek text, unless someone has selected the Greek language, e.g.,~
is such a symbol." (from Writing Greek with thegreek
option of thebabel
package, p. 3)
