Try GNU FreeSerif and FreeSans! (My FreeMono has only one Cherokee

 In TeX Live 2010. Or on xetex.tk, is source form.

Hello!

are the microtype fetures already merged into XeTeX SVN TRUNK,
or are they still only here: 
http://scripts.sil.org/svn-view/xetex/BRANCHES/microtype/ ?

Thanks!

P.T.

  If I wanted to redefine
 the UNICODE range for Cherokee Glyphs to match the below, so that I could
 leave the rest using standard fonts, by using the \def approach, how would
 you do it?

Maybe this (untested) works:

\newfontfamily\Cher{FreeSerif}  % select this or
\newfontfamily\Cher{FreeSans}   % that font for Cherokee

\newcount\n \n=13A0 \loop \ifnum\n13F5   % start and end point 
in hex
  \catcode\n=\active% activation
  \def\n{\Cher\n} \advance\n by 1 \repeat   % set font, increment 
loop index

I am not a TeX programmer (shell, sed, awk are much easier, also more often 
usable).

I think they are, but the TeX Live 2010 distribution does not have the new 
microtype package. The update is available via tlmgr (or TLU on Mac OS X) from 
the repository http://tlcontrib.metatex.org/2010. See also: 
http://tlcontrib.metatex.org/

After the update check for the existence of the file 
/usr/local/texlive/20XY/texmf-dist/tex/latex/microtype/microtype-xetex.def!
