Class GreekNumberFactory

public class GreekNumberFactory extends Object

This class can produce String combinations representing a number built with Greek letters (from alpha to omega, then alpha alpha, alpha beta, alpha gamma). We are aware of the fact that the original Greek numbering is different; See http://www.cogsci.indiana.edu/farg/harry/lan/grknum.htm#ancient but this isn't implemented yet; the main reason being the fact that we need a font that has the obsolete Greek characters qoppa and sampi.
