Re: [XeTeX] Customizing footnote markers
Would something like this make you happy? That's what I've been using for years.
Put it in your preamble. And of course, change the parindent size to somheting
you like.
\makeatletter
\renewcommand\@makefntext[1]{%
\vspace{2pt}%
\setlength\parindent{-1.8em}%
\setlength\leftskip{1.8em}%
\makebox[1.8em][l]{\normalfont\small\@thefnmark.}#1}
\makeatother

You can enter characters by number in XeTeX with \char; so try \char8FBB\charE0100 If it's just a question of getting in the characters, which the font will then process by glyph substitution, it should work to simply include the desired characters literally in XeTeX's input.

[XeTeX] thanks for XeTeX
and fontspec! Just reading Bruno Voisin's posts on the OS X TeX mailing list made me remember all the hoops and problems one had to jump through to get fonts working in LaTeX… So thank you Jonathan and all the rest of you who are working hard on making our lives easier!

[XeTeX] microtype and SVN checkout problem

Good news!
So I tried it by adding \usepackage[verbose]{microtype}
to a document I had.
Well, it failed (`microtype' only works with pdftex.), so I went there:
http://xetex.tk/mediawiki/index.php/Pre-built_binaries_for_xetex_with_support_for_margin_kerning
and saw there were no binaries built on Intel, and for once I saw something I
could do for the community! Build it on my machine and share it.
Well, I only got so far:
Baal:microtype-xetex cyril$ svn co
http://scripts.sil.org/svn-view/xetex/BRANCHES/microtype/
svn: Repository moved permanently to '/svn-view/xetex/BRANCHES/microtype/';
please relocate
Since the URL are the same, I don't know what I'm supposed to do to checkout,
and the fine manual did not help nor dig google.

I am new to XeTeX, and I could not find a text for beginners.

Let me ask some questions:
1. Is it possible to replace unicode by applemac encoding? What are the
commands in this case?
The whole point of XeLaTeX is to work in unicode, so no. If you have legacy
documents in applemac, either save them using TextEdit (for ex) in UTF-8, or
keep using pdfTeX, which supports that encoding.
2. If the main roman font is Frutiger® 55 Roman (Linotype Original names), I
doubt that the system will find out that if the italic, bold and bold italic
counterparts are Frutiger® 56 Italic, Frutiger® 65 Bold, Frutiger® 66 Bold
Italic.
Use \setromanfont{Frutiger LT Std}, it will do the rest combined with the
normal italics or bold declarations.

Would setting

I do have it in the document preamble, to no effect (with straight or curled
apostrophes).
Well, setting \lccode2019=0027 actually does fix this problem. Of course,
this needs to be done after polyglossia has had its say (e.g. after
\begin{document} or after your closest language changing command), because
gloss-french.ldf resets it. So, I think patching gloss-french.ldf would be
the minimal fix.
Oh, well I had it for years in the preamble… I did not know it would be reset.
A lot of my XeTeXting habits have accumulated over the years I've been using it
but, as became obvious in this thread, they are not well founded in knowledge
of the actual code itself, which results in silly mistakes like the placement
of this lccode.
On the other hand, why not do it right? 0027 is some ASCII
single-high-vertical-short-line which was used in the middle-ages of text
input to mean apostrophe, single quotation mark, prime, etc. Now that we have
gone way past the french revolution (pun intended), why not enter those
characters as they deserve? I find myself not using tex-text.map anymore,
since terminals and editors can properly display all those nice glyphs
directly.
I agree, and I do make an effort to input the correct unicode glyphs in my
documents, and I've not had a problem with displaying those glyphs.
Nevertheless the curled apostrophe is an alt-shift combination, not that
practical to input. I could make a search and replace as well, but in the case
of that article I hadn't. It's why I usually use Mapping=tex-text.
In the meantime, the solution I used was to change fonts…
That basically disables hyphenation for this word, like would \/.
I noticed that if I wrote l'in\-formation, it would then hyphenate at the
suggested point and not after the apostrophe.
Thanks,
Cyril
