"Old" T1-encoded fonts for pdflatex does handle it correctly: They have normaly a "SS"-glyph at position 223 which used for uppercasing. In xetex it should be easy to set the uppercase code of ß to LATIN CAPITAL LETTER SHARP S (U+1E9E) and then to map this (if wanted e.g. if the font doesn't have U+1E9E) to SS. -- Ulrike Fischer http://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/ -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
