\latinfont will likely attempt to select a font set up for the actual
Latin language, since that’s a language supported by polyglossia.
\begin{english} / \textenglish{} / etc. is gonna be what you want, per
the polyglossia documentation.When I compile your attached document, I’m getting the correct Malayalam rendering and the Latin-script numbers for the date field with the Rachana font. I’m using an up-to-date TeX Live 2012 on Linux with a XeTeX binary that’s built from the most recent commit. Peter, you say you’re using a XeTeX 0.9999.2 version? Where did you get that from? The last point-version release I see in XeTeX’s repository is 0.9999.1. -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
