Greek alphabet

[gizmecano]

Really pleased to see that the development of this font seems still active (and also open source).

Do you planned a full support for the Greek alphabet in the future (as at this time, only six glyphs seem to be available: Γ Δ Π Ω μ π)? IMHO, it's one of the only main features missing to perfect this font...

Thanks @gizmecano :) I expect that this year there'll be some refinement of the Latin and Cyrillic, but developing the greek will require so much time that it can't be done on a hobbyist basis. If you can organize funds then @alexeiva and I can make the development happen :)

[gizmecano]

I totally understand that developing a complete Unicode block would be a significant work (and frankly, I'm absolutely unable to finance such a project alone right now). I have inquired about this possibility only because I have recently discovered several glyphs were already integrated.

By the way, I'm happy to listen that some improvements are possible in the existing subsets. I let you close this issue if you think that it isn't in plannable until further notice.

Those have a 2nd life as Latin math symbols which is why they are included in most Latin fonts; their presence doesn't signal intent to develop a Greek orthography :)

[alexeiva]

I will leave this as a development request.
Might be interesting to develop a Greek in the future.

May be at least remove μ and π from Lora - so that they would be from the fallback font? But this would have other drawbacks because of the sepcial Lora italics...

[kiwi0fruit]

Or you can use regular Libertinus Serif as regular and regular GFS Bodoni / GFS Artermisia as italic. There are many nice open source fonts there (not all of them open source actually) - especially GFS Porson but I do not see it with Lora...

[alexeiva]

@kiwi0fruit. Pi and mu are required as part of a basic math set. I am against copy-pasting glyphs from another font.

You can remove these glyphs for your own needs via fonttools / fontdiet, or fontsquirell font face generator by selecting a subset.

+1 for Greek support.
