Hi all,

Nikos sent files to me off-list.

And the explanation is very simple.

I had **completely** forgotten that prior to Sphinx 2.0.0,
the LaTeX writer escaped Greek letter (without diacritics)
to LaTeX math mark-up hence they used the math font.

Hence it was simply impossible
to have Greek as main language in a document. (although
one could get Greek letters with diacritics look fine)

I should have recognized the glyphs on Nikos pictures,
but in addition of having nil memory, I also have blurry
vision.

Thus Nikos absolutely needs to use Sphinx from the 2.x
series, and ideally at least Sphinx 2.2.1.

In addition thanks to Nikos test Greek sample
I realized perhaps it was better to use

smartquotes = False

in conf.py

(see 
http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/configuration.html#confval-smartquotes)

or possibly to modify smartquotes_excludes.

Perhaps Nikos will confirm or invalidate that last point. (we can incorporate 
that upstream like for Japanese)

For more related info, check "Greek" inside the Sphinx CHANGES file


http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/changes.html

In brief,

Only way to get PDF output via LaTeX from Sphinx for
Greek as main language is to use Sphinx 2.2.1 or later...

(at least Sphinx 2.0.0 but then some extras are needed in conf.py)

Sorry for latency in saying something useful...

Jean-François
