Encoding stuff based on the internal font machinery of TeX (letters with catcode 11 or 12, ligatures) does not work, because the strings don't reach TeX's stomach. \end{quote} % The \emph{greek-fontenc} package allows input of Greek characters in a way that ``reaches TeX's stomach'' and hence works in both, the main document as well as in PDF strings (e.g. bookmarks). Hyperref's ``puenc.def`` font encoding file defines LICR macros for monotonic Greek (Greek characters of the ``Greek and Coptic'' unicode block). All utf8-encoded literal Unicode characters work in PDF strings. With \emph{greek-fontenc} and \emph{greek-inputenc}, this enables use of all Greek character in text and PDF strings. With the \emph{textalpha} package, Greek letters can be used without explicit change of the font encoding or Babel language (with some caveats, see textalpha-doc.pdf). For correct hyphenation and other fixes, mark Greek text parts with the Babel language \texttt{greek}. There should be no space around a language switch: |\foreignlanguage{greek}{λογος}| \section{Transcription: \ensuregreek{logos}, \foreignlanguage{greek}{logos}} Text input using the Latin transliteration: In the PDF-bookmark are Latin letters instead of Greek ones. \section{Macros: \foreignlanguage{greek}{% \textlambda\textomicron\textgamma\textomicron\textvarsigma}, \textlambda\textomicron\textgamma\textomicron\textvarsigma{}, \lambda\omicron\gamma\omicron\varsigma{}, λογος, } \emph{Babel-Greek} or \emph{textalpha} package with \verb|\textalpha| \ldots \verb|textomega| macros; \emph{alphabeta} package with \verb|alpha| \ldots \verb|Omega| macros. With 8-bit TeX (pdflatex), literal Greek Unicode characters are converted to LICR Macros, too. Works, if the \texttt{unicode} or \texttt{pdfencoding=auto} option is given to \emph{hyperref}.% \footnote{With the ``xpdf'' viewer, Greek letters are not shown in PDF bookmarks.} \section{% Kerning: \textAlpha\textUpsilon\textLambda{} \ensuregreek{\textAlpha\textUpsilon\textLambda} \foreignlanguage{greek}{\textAlpha\textUpsilon\textLambda}% } Kerning is impossible if the font encoding is switched for every single character. To fix this, wrap the Greek part in a command switching to a font encoding supporting Greek, either \verb+\ensuregreek{...}+ (with package \emph{textalpha} or \emph{Babel}) or \verb+\foreignlanguage{greek}{...}+ (with \emph{Babel}). \section{Literal Unicode input} The following subsection headings contain all characters from the ``Greek and Coptic'' and ``Greek Extended''

in UPPERCASE. The LaTeX \verb|\Makeuppercase| implementation changed fundamentally with the release in 06/2022.\footnote{% This change cannot be reverted with the rollback mechanism ``for technical reasons''.} \verb|\Makeuppercase| is now supported PDF-strings. Greek typesetting rules are ony applied if the text language is set to \texttt{greek} with Babel's \verb|\setlanguage| or \verb|\foreignlanguage|. The changes broke the support for upcasing of polutonic Greek (combined accents) with LICR input and of Greek with the LGR Latin transliteration. Restoring support is currently (2023/02/10) worked on. \selectlanguage{greek} \subsection{\testnewmakeuppercase{ἀἁἂἃἄἅἆἇἈἉἊἋἌἍἎἏ}} \selectlanguage{english} \verb|Makeuppercase| is not supported in PDF strings with LaTeX versions older than 06/2022. \section{Conclusion} For Greek text parts in section headers use either literal Unicode characters% \footnote{Pre-composed Unicode characters must be used for multi-accented letters or non-standard accents. Combining Unicode characters do not work with inputenc and 8-bit LaTeX – this is a general restriction.} or macros. For proper kerning und upcasing in the main document, set the language with \verb|\foreignlanguage{greek}|. \end{document}
