strange behaviour of \definedfont['Some Name'] in XeTeX
Hello, I'm probaby misusing the feature (most robably because I just didn't take time to study how to do it properly), but it behaves really strange. In XeTeX I first did \font\f='Some Name' \f which worked OK. But when I tried the same with \definedfont['Some Name'] it resulted in strange behaviour. For some fonts, metapost has been invoked and complained, but the resulting document had the proper font plus "scaled 1000" written on the first page where the font has been selected. For other fonts it failed completely. What's actually the most clean way of including an "uc-encoded" font at a specific font size, but without the need of bold or any other "typefaces" (just for a title for example)? (Which basically means: I only want the same behaviour as the plain TeX expression above + uc encoding.) Thanks, Mojca

hm, that's Adam Lindsay's teritory; does "bla" work?

No, I tried that as well. As far as I remember this code used to work already, but I might be wrong. Mojca
