Pete, I want to apologize for the multiple messages. I wrote them some 
time ago when my email was misconfigured, and apparently they went 
into a cache and when email was fixed were automatically sent.

I believe I have the font issue for XeLaTeX all straightened out by now.

That's natural. XeTeX works with Unicode encoded fonts not with PostScript 
fonts in very strange encodings. You better use a Chinese OpenType font.

Re: [XeTeX] Problem displaying Chinese font with \newfontfamily

[Andy Lin]

You'll want to check out the other thread related to xecjk from this
month. In essence, xecjk overrides fontspec mechanisms for font
selection, so you'll need to do something like:

\setCJKfamilyfont{sungtiGBfamily}{AR PL SungtiL GB}
\newcommand{\sungtiGB}[1]{{\CJKfamily{sungtiGBfamily}#1}}

Just a note, Mapping=RomDev in the font definition means that the text
is entered in a Roman transliteration and will be converted to
Devanagari on the fly. If the text is entered directly in Devanagari,
this option is not needed.

Greetings Aku,

Sure.  No problem.  I'm glad to help if I can.  Attached is the header  
file I use for that file.  The header is for a purely Sanskrit (i.e., no  
other language) book with a size of 5 x 8.  If you have any questions or  
suggestions, please don't hesitate.

Hello again,

The font Siddhanta does include "Devanagari Extended". You might want to use it 
instead of Sanskrit 2003.

[XeTeX] Problem displaying Chinese font with \newfontfamily

[Haines Brown]

I'm migrating from LaTeX to XeLaTeX on Debian Squeeze with TL2100, 
but having trouble with XeLaTeX display of Chinese characters:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\setmainfont[Mapping=tex-text]{Linux Libertine O}
\usepackage{xeCJK}
\setCJKmainfont{AR PL KaitiM GB}
\newfontfamily\sungtiGB{AR PL SungtiL GB}

\begin{document}

Main font: 

Sung font: {\sungtiGB ??}

\end{document}

The chinese characters are all displayed with main font "AR PL KaitiM 
GB" but the \newfontfamily only displays the main font, not the font
it specifies. I do have access to the font because if I set "AR PL 
SungtiL GB" as main font, it displays properly.

[XeTeX] Font selection problem

[Haines Brown]

I'm migrating from LaTeX to XeLaTeX on Debian Squeeze with TL2100. The
Arphic fonts are installed and work properly with LaTeX. But I'm having
trouble with XeLaTeX.

For example:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\setmainfont[Mapping=tex-text]{Linux Libertine O}
\usepackage{xeCJK}
\setCJKmainfont{AR PL KaitiM GB}
\newfontfamily\sungtiGB{AR PL SungtiL GB}

\begin{document}

Main font: 无为

Sung font: {\sungtiGB 无为}

\end{document}

The chinese characters are all displayed om main font AR PL KaitiM GB
but the newfontfamily rather than the other fonts specified.

Re: [XeTeX] How to render this symbol in Xelatex

Hello,

This symbol (U+A8F3) does not exist in Sanskrit 2003 v1.10, so even if your 
input method is correct (unfortunately I am unable to help with this) it cannot 
be displayed.

Best wishes,

Yves

I might be wrong but the symbol looks like DEVANAGARI SIGN CANDRABINDU

You might need to first confirm the existence of the glyph for this

Re: [XeTeX] Current Hebrew month spelled incorrectly in Polyglossia

[Arthur Reutenauer]

Hello,

On Sat, Nov 26, 2011 at 03:41:31PM +, Gareth Hughes wrote:
> It would be good to have the option to choose מרחשון, as that's what I
> would normally write. Could we have a 'marcheshvan' option for

  In a long overdue action item, I corrected the misspelling that was
mentioned at the beginning of this thread, and added a ‘marcheshvan’
option to both the Hebrew language option of Polyglossia, and the
hebrewcal package.  The current syntax is a little suboptimal, i.e. if
you use hebrewcal standalone you can say

\usepackage[marcheshvan]{hebrewcal}

to use the more traditional spelling (both in Hebrew and English), but
with Polyglossia itself you have to say:

\setmainlanguage[calendar=hebrew,marcheshvan=true]{hebrew}

(i.e., just saying “marcheshvan” won’t work at the moment, you have to
say “marcheshvan=true.”  The other option is needed because the calendar
is Gregorian by default).

  You can check this by setting, for example, \day=17\month=10\year=2012
in a TeX file (that sets the date artificially to 17 October 2012
= 1 Cheshvan / Marcheshvan 5773).

  However, now I’m left with a small dilemma: the name of this month has
been spelt, in English, as “Heshvan” for at least 20 years by Babel, and
that’s what Polyglossia has been using so far too.  But from what I
understand ‘ch’ is traditionally preferred to transliterate the Hebrew
letter het, and that’s what I’ve been using here.  Hence my question:
how should I write the English name of the month in Polyglossia?
Spelling it “marcheshvan” seems more traditional, and that’s what I
would name the option, too; while I’d like to keep “Heshvan” for
compatilibility reasons.  Please advise.
