Thanks Mojca, that worked! Now that I have your attention, may I ask another question: a couple of months ago, I was wondering about using fonts that are NOT installed on the system but are in one of the texmf- trees. In typescripts, we have the "name:" and "file:" syntax; the latter works with these fonts but seems to have some limitations (I attach a reply Taco wrote). Has anything new developed on this question? What is the canonical way of using such fonts?
for xetex: - name: and file: only translate to usage of "" and [] specifications - features are mapped onto the xetex syntax - funny syntaxes like /B and such are not supported for luatex: - name: and file: are interpreted by lua code; file does several attempt so locate a file, while name has some heuristics in figuring out the file that belongs to the given name (spaces, special characters, case is ignored for instance) - features (not only otf, e.g. also afm has features) are just passed on to mkiv lua code in general, a xetex definition should be more precise Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
