Convert Greek (including polytonic) written in
iso-8859-7 with the
conventions of the Babel LaTeX package to Unicode
Greek for use with
xelatex/lualatex.
If the file is in monotonic the conversion is
easy. Just execute (at the Linux commandline)
iconv -f iso8859-7 -t UTF-8 filename >
new-filename
But if the files is written with polytonic Greek,
for example if >ά| is written for alpha psili,
oxia, ypogegrammeni, then this conversion is not
easy.
1. Download the script
babel7toUTF8
and make sure you have installed iconv and sed. If
not the script will detect it and ask you to
install these programs. Save this script in the
folder that you have your files that you need to
convert.
2. cd to that folder and make the script
executable by executing:
chmod +x babel7toUTF8
3. Now run the conversion:
./babel7toUTF8 filename
This command will produce the file utf8-filename
that contains your text written in proper Greek
Unicode.
