If it's just a question of getting in the characters, which the font will then process by glyph substitution, it should work to simply include the desired characters literally in XeTeX's input. I haven't tried that with variant selectors, but it works for me with private-use characters, even outside the Basic Multilingual Plane. I tried to demonstrate in this message, only to discover when I attempted to send it, that my *email server* doesn't support the literal characters even if XeTeX, my editor, my keyboard config, and my email client all do. The advantage to using the literal characters is that if your editor display supports them, they will appear more nicely during editing; the advantage to using \char" escapes is that then the input remains in ASCII and will better survive passage through systems (like email) that may not support the literal characters. -- Matthew Skala [email protected] People before principles. http://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/ -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
