On Thu, 5 Jul 2012, Günter Milde submitted an update to the
lgrx
package.
Summary description: Greek text with the LGR font encoding
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
New version of the lgrx bundle:
New package alphabeta.sty to make alpha, eta, ... math commands available in
text mode, too. Support for accented Greek unicode characters with
textalpha.sty. Documentation update.
Note: the TeXLive 2012 pre-release had the file lgrenc.dfu in the wrong place,
resulting in non-functional Unicode support. This is fixed in the latest
pre-release (and also in the texlive-lang-greek package in Debian/unstable).
