I just noticed on a sample chapter sent to a customer that the em dashes are missing. What is shown is the three hyphens instead. In my document I have this: \loadmapfile[8r-adobe-garamond.map] \usetypescriptfile[type-agaramond.tex] \usetypescript[AGaramond] \setupbodyfont[MyGaramond,11pt] In type-agaramond.tex I have this: --------------------------------------- \usetypescriptfile[type-buy] \starttypescript [serif] [garamond] [8r] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-Roman] [8r-raw-AGaramond-Regular] [encoding=8r] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-Italic] [8r-raw-AGaramond-Italic] [encoding=8r] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-Roman-SmallCaps] [8r-raw-AGaramond-RegularSC] [encoding=8r] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [serif] [garamond] [name] \usetypescript[serif][fallback] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [AGaramond-Roman] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [AGaramond-Italic] \definefontsynonym [SerifCaps] [AGaramond-Roman-SmallCaps] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [AGaramond] \definetypeface [MyGaramond] [rm] [serif] [garamond] [default] [encoding=8r] \stoptypescript ------------------------------------------------- I intstalled the fonts by using the texfont package. I can of course look up the glyph on the chart and do a \char thingie but the em dash is so basic I don't know how I messed it up. Does it have something to do with the 8r-raw encoding? That is what came out of texfont. -- John Culleton Able Indexing and Typesetting Precision typesetting (tm) at reasonable cost. Satisfaction guaranteed. http://wexfordpress.com
