Hi,

How to get the right output for the 2nd unicode character ? It's blank.

You need a font with the character or use fallbacks.

@Hans: Shouldn't the output contain a notdef char.

\definefontfallback [whatever] [Slanted] [0x0060-0x007F] \definefontfallback [whatever] [Bold] [0x0080-0x00FF, 0x00A0-0x00AF] \definefontfallback [whatever] [BoldSlanted] [0x00C0-0x00C7]

What's the meaning of the third parameter? Unicode ranges?

takes chars 0x0060-0x007F from Slanted (whatever it resolves to)

And what are these thingies: 0x0060-0x007F ?

Unicode values [1], in the example above all characters with a code between 0x0060 (grave accent) till 0x0070 (latin small letter p) are taken from the current font for the slanted style. [1] http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0000.pdf Wolfgang
