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?
Yes. See type-otf.tex: \definefontsynonym [LMRoman10-Regular] [file:lmroman10-regular] [features=default] features=default is defined in font-ini.tex: \definefontfeature [default] [liga=yes,kern=yes,tlig=yes,trep=yes] % texligatures=yes,texquotes=yes tlig=yes is than mapped to \remapfontfeature tlig yes mapping=tlig Note that "mapping=tlig" replaces "mapping=tex-text" (maybe it might make sense to call it "mapping=tex-ligatures", I don't know which one sounds better), which replaces -- with endash, --- with emdash and ' with the proper apostrophe. The rest of sligtly weird "ligatures" from tex-text is not there. Mojca (I somehow still miss a sligtly more simple syntax for the whole typescript, but I have no idea what that could be.)
