[XeTeX] cbgreek fonts

[David Purton]

Hi all,

I've just started playing with XeTeX, because getting unicode biblical
Hebrew to work with LaTeX became too hard...

I've now got Hebrew working well, but haven't yet got Greek working like
what I want.

I was using the cbgreek font family with LaTex and would like to
continue using this family. What is the best way to do this?

I tried using CMU Serif from
http://cm-unicode.sourceforge.net/index.html

This has almost worked, but for some reason some incorrect characters
are used. For example instead of using the standard U+03B2 for β, it
pulls U+F147 from the Private Use Area. Similarly, U+F149 is taken for θ
instead of the correct U+03B8.

My input files are in UTF-8 and seem to otherwise work correctly.

Is this problem with the font or with XeTeX? If the problem is with
XeTeX, can anyone suggest a fix?



I'm runing Debian Sid with the following version of XeTeX if that helps:
