hm, the "'s interfere here

how exactly do you define a font:

  "Hoefler Text: Ligatures=Diphthongs" at 10pt

or

  "Hoefler Text: Ligatures=Diphthongs at 10pt"

or

which becomes tricky with

  "Hoefler Text: Ligatures=Diphthongs sa 2"

How about introducing something

\xfn{Hoefler Text: Ligatures=Diphthongs}

instead of " ; I can even imagine that xetex supports { } as alternative for " because:

- it's not sensitive for " being active and such
- it nicely moves through the tex machinery since tex knows how to deal with {}'s


on the other hand, such {} can get lost when passing arguments, so maybe

() is a better alternative since it also fits in the ps/pdf way of handling args -)


(Hoefler Text: Ligatures=Diphthongs) at 10pt

that we then can redefine at will. This will move through most tex macros without problems and adaptions.

So, can you ask Jonathan if he is willing to accept (0 as alternative alongside "" ?
