Hi!
I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to select a font variant
with fontspec?
I'm a linguist using the IPA, so I need to make a difference with a and
ɑ. Unfortunately, with Charis SIL, the only font which fully supports
the IPA with both bold and italics, the default for the font is that
italicized a turns into ɑ.
In Openoffice, the solution to this is to pick the slant italics variant
manually, e.g. the font name becomes: Charis SIL:1053=1, not just Charis
SIL. This appears to work in Xelatex as well, but then for some reason
all my italics disappear.
Any suggestions?
Best,
Don
