bgreek – Using Beccari’s fonts in betacode for classical Greek
This package implements a dialect of the Beta Code encoding (TLG and Perseus Projects) for typesetting classical Greek using Claudio Beccari’s Greek Fonts.
The package provides virtual fonts, to reference Beccari’s fonts in bgreek mode, and support macros for use with LaTeX.
According to the author, the purpose of this package is nowadays better served by the betababel package.
