Summary description: Greek font, written in METAFONT, with normal and

License type: lppl
Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
- - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a Greek font I wrote in METAFONT several years ago after being
inspired by the Bodoni typefaces I had seen in the old books in my school
library. It is stylistically a little more exotic than the standard
textbook greek fonts, particularly in glyphs like the lowercase rho and
kappa. It aims for a rather calligraphic feel, but I also think it blends
well with Computer Modern.
I included a ligature scheme which automatically inserts the breathings
required for ancient texts, making the input text more readable than in some
schemes. Since it is now de rigueur to use outline fonts, I have largely
abandoned this project, but I hope someone finds it useful.
