RE: FrameMaker 7.0 and Greek characters

[eric.dunn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

How about using a structured authoring approach? As FM7 puportedly can map to
XML using unicode characters, read/write rules should be able to correctly map
between xml using unicode greek characters and the custom font equivalents. Even
without unicode support, couldn't the correct entities be mapped?

Perhaps some scripting/macro equivalent could be developed without requiring an
SGML/XML file 'middleman'. If your custom fonts were available to word and FM,
then run a script on the source word files before copying to FM. If copying from
FM to word, run the script after copying from FM to change to the correct
unicode fonts.

You could do this if you want to have to re do any Greek text that is sent
to you. The Greek fonts that are available are set to a certain character
mapping. If you decide to change this mapping in your NEW font you will have
to fix you Greek every time.

One solution would be to invent two fonts of your own, one called - say -
"MyGreeka" and the other "MyGreekb".  Copy working character definitions
from some other font into the normal A-Z positions in each of these
fonts, placing the first half or so of the greek alphabet into MyGreeka
and the second half into MyGreekb.
