I would very much like to incorporate Greek text into my documents, but unfortunately I need to use the accents (for Classical Greek) and since the only font at this site which I've been able to find Greek characters in is "eurmXX" and, of course, "eurbXX", I have tried to use the "\accent" control sequence of TeX to make it work. Needless to say, I've had no luck with it; after looking closely at the TeXbook trying to reveal the secrets of "\accent", I realized that I'm not a TeX guru. How can I incorporate accents into Greek, perhaps even if the accents were of another font? I need the accent definitions, if you can supply them. Also, out of curiosity, is there a font out there or a way of setting up a ".sty" file (for LaTeX usage) with which I can use the regular alphabet of English with a transliterative mapping into Greek? For instance, 'a' for alpha, 'b' for beta, etc.... The "eurXXX" fonts use \char0--\char36 for Greek, but I know of no easy way to access those characters other than the "\char" c.s. (like I said, I'm no guru.) I greatly appreciate any help, Andy B.
