"The quotation marks thing should be easy. Try specifying Mapping=tex-
text
as an option when you choose the font, as in: \setmainfont[Mapping=tex-
text]{Adobe Garamond Pro} "
Thanks, that did it!
However, I'm still looking for something more in the overfull hbox
problem. Consider the following error message from XeLaTeX:
Overfull \hbox (0.792pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 552--569
\EU1/AdobeGaramondPro(0)/m/n/12 was extremely rarely used before the
Ming dynas
ty other than on black-painted Cizhou [1]
Yes, that \EU1 makes me suspicious, but I have zero idea of how the
details of font specs work.
Here is the original paragraph of LaTeX input, *almost* exactly
copied, mod some weirdities in copy-paste:
No comparable turquoise-glazed bowl appears to be recorded, and the
turquoise glaze was extremely rarely used before the Ming dynasty
other than on black-painted Cizhou wares. Although the present piece
seems a highly successful example of a style otherwise surprisingly
unknown, the complicated production process employed for this piece
may well have proved too time-consuming and precarious for a
production line on a larger scale to be undertaken in this technique.
\par
It seems rather incredible that this para couldn't be properly
justified, given the amount of text and the line length for
typesetting it (indicated by the break after "Cizhou").
But it gets worse: Leave out the "wares" -- everything between "Cizhou
" and "Although" -- and it gives identical justification with the sam
0.792pt overfulness!
Still pursuing other leads on this part of the weirdity.
