Thank you for this pointer. I am a bit scared by this bug report having 13 years and last update being 12 months ago, but let’s stay positive it will happen 😊

Thanks for this workaround. I did actually notice this shortly after sending my email and must admit that it is already a big progress that I can at least get rid of the annoying  red box.

Thanks for this workaround. I will give it a try but I fear that keyboard shortcuts will not be an option in my case because I will risk to have quite a number of such “name” macros.

 

Thanks to both of you, very much appreciated!

Subject: Archaic Greek?

I am looking for an archaic Greek font. (Not sure it is the right forum...)

 

I downloaded one from MiKTeX (https://ctan.org/pkg/greek6cbc) and the whole archaic bundle, but I cannot get it to work -- maybe incompatible with Unicode?

 

Any alternative suggestions are welcome!

 

Kind regards,

 

Bernd
