Hi Adam, On Hans's suggestion, I've been working on a dense character encoding that does away with combining accents and extraneous symbol-like characters in favor of fully accented characters. http://homepage.mac.com/atl/tex/dense.pdf do you have an enc file to play with? So with those goals in mind, does anyone notice their favorite *letter* missing? Is there essential punctuation missing? Looks fine so far, but I have only checked the chars I use (mostly german).

Only tcaron char is not searchable (if in my AR7 search for any letter, say 'a' I got all accented a variant; if for 't' 'ť' is not find), but I do not know if the problem is in a) AR, b) CMAP, c) encoding (enco in the font presented in the PDF has mostly tcaron but tquoteright is presented too).

Thanks. Good to know. Only tcaron char is not searchable (if in my AR7 search for any letter, say 'a' I got all accented a variant; if for 't' 'È' is not find), but I do not know if the problem is in a) AR, b) CMAP, c) encoding (enco in the font presented in the PDF has mostly tcaron but tquoteright is presented too). But tt is not a big problem. Hmm, interesting. I get the same results in Apple's PDF viewer. (The capital letter Tcaron is searchable, though!) There's a fair bit that I don't understand about CMAP, however. (Also note that this was generated a few months ago, and that recent CMAP improvements (I think I saw some corrections go by on the mailing list while on holiday) won't be reflected here.) -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.
