They have Babel *.ldf files but no hyphenation patterns.


BTW, for Greek there are now 4 pattern sets:
greek (monoton), polutonikogreek and ancient greek with 8-bit encoding LGR;
grc-x-ibycus uses the 8-bit font encoding LGI.

LyX allows the choice between different TeX engines and TeX-fonts or
Unicode-encoded fonts. Instead of taking away this choice, I want to clean
up a bit.

All the Polish QX-also fonts (Latin Modern and TeXGyre) have also L7x (may
be due to the old Polish-Lithuanian Rzeczpospolita ;).
