The new version of the PGTEI conversion process is able to "embed" a TrueType Font into the PDF file to handle characters that are not in the default PDF character set.
I'm currently working on a math text that makes use the Greek alpha, beta, gamma, etc letters. Greek isn't included in the default PDF generator. However, if someone can find a "good" TTF for those greek letters, Marcello tells me we can add it to the system.
I freely admit that I don't know enough about Greek or fonts to tell what font might be good. A google search turned up quite a few that claimed no copyright or licensing encumbrance, but I need some more expert advice.
So, you Greek experts out there, what font file do you recommend we use?
