Update in Ubuntu 11.04: Variation Selectors are fully supported in XeTeX. However, they are not supported in LibreOffice.
** Description changed: I'm trying to typeset some texts in ancient Mongolian and Phags-pa, both of which have been included in Unicode. For Mongolian, I've installed the ttf-manchufont package. For Phags-pa, I've used the font available here: http://babelstone.blogspot.com/2006/12/phags-pa-shaping- behaviour.html Both languages use the Unicode Variation Selectors. In a nutshell, the combination character + variation selector should change the representation of the character to a different variant. See the table of Standardised Unicode variants here: http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/StandardizedVariants.html The expected behavior does not work in any of the packages I've tried (gedit, gimp and OpenOffice). Instead, the variation selector remains as it's own character and the preceding character is unmodified (see attachment). This is NOT an issue with the fonts because: a. The fonts have the appropriate substitutions defined, as can be observed by editing the fonts in e.g. fontforge. b. The expected behavior happens in WIndows 7 using these fonts. This is an issue with whatever package handles Unicode glyph substitution.
