Greek to me

Hi Harald,

I just compiled your file with lualatex on an updated texlive and the
Greek is printed alright.

Which ebgaramond did you use?  From your log, it is:

</usr/share/fonts/opentype/ebgaramond/EBGaramond08-Italic.otf></usr/share/fonts/
opentype/ebgaramond/EBGaramond12-Regular.otf>

(Why EBGaramond08-Italic.otf ?)

whereas I have:

</usr/local/texlive/2023/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/ebgaramond/EBGaramond-
Italic.otf></usr/local/texlive/2023/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/ebgaramond/
EBGaramond-Regular.otf>

I think you should try using the ebgaramond that comes with texlive
rather than your (presumably incomplete) system font to see if it
works.

R.
