Hi all!
Fonts are driving my crazy! I have the following document that clearly
states that the font encoding should be ec. Yet, somewhere behind the

uhvr8r.
Can someone reveal this deep

Ah, here's a conflict: XeTeX doesn't have latin modern yet. (Needs to be
converted to OpenType, with some special table enabled... JK hasn't
documented it yet.) Do you have a switch to avoid the cmr-lm conversion?

The uhvr8t font is a virtual font, probably created by fontinst.
Can we create a section in the wiki where such nice explanations can go into?
Something: some details about how tex works

what cmr does xetex use? a special version? we can of course make a xetex
specific typescript to setup the default fonts
It's a straight opentype encapsulation of the CMR type1 fonts from CTAN,
as far as I can tell.
Getting LM in there

Font design is very subjective game, I know. There is my comment:
1) LM has very ugly caron
2) caron is too high at both capitals and minuscules
Isn't that a matter of taste? Think of mixed language usage (not that strange in
todays europe), then one wants consistency and this was

In the index I create, the page numbers are active
(marked green as defined in \setupinteraction). In
contents entries, only the chapter numbers are active.
Can I make the page numbers active in contents?
how about
I wonder,
\definecharacter Aring {\ilencodedrA}
\definecharacter Lstroke {\ilencodedL}
\definecharacter lstroke {\ilencodedl}
where do these come from? is that because csr does not provide those glyphs?
(which makes il2 like aer (almoet ec) something almost il2 -)

You mean small caps, I presume? My first guess would be that they're not
properly referenced in the typescript. As for old-style figures, are you
sure Utopia is supposed to have them? If so, do you know which font
contains them?
Yes, small caps with oldstyle figures as per:

I have asked Czech TeX users for their opinion yesterday. Now I want to

il2 encoding is not ISO-8859-2 but encoding of CS fonts

I guess you found it on *my* website.

Okay, it's clearly font dependent, and I chose two typical ones: American
Typewriter and Optima Regular. Going through some typical fonts available
on my system, it becomes clear that Hoefler Text is the best case.

The same happens with for example the charter font! Can this be caused

see type-exa.tex for how palatino is defined; bookman is a stand alone font (no

The question is how to elegantly switch from standard (st2) tfm to
extended (st3) tfm when the glyph is not present in st2 - with
preserving \rm, \bf, \it, \bi.
Example: {\bf Bold text with special char \textplus} where \texplus is
bold

To my untutored eye it looks like the MediaBox is being
used - at least, the graphic takes up an area about
Letter size. Is there some setting Ive missed that
lets me get the bounds of the graphics rather than the
file?

no, it's just a trick of the light.
I picked that font name just as a dummy example to get your attention. :)
