Excellent - does this mean that custom kerning from within XeTeX is moving up the 'to-do' list? It seems to me to be in the same general area (aesthetically though perhaps not technically): one wants to fine-tune the spacing behaviour of specific characters from within the program rather

Now, I am not surprised by the fact that that specific font doesn't have that specific character, but shouldn't it be able to create one just by putting an acute accent over the letter _n_? The problem you have here is the result of xunicode's action: it explicitely replaces the sequence

You can find all the characters included in a font in the «character map». In Linux, type in the terminal 'charmap'. If you are in Windows, I think it is in 'Accesories→System Tools→Character Map'. In the character map you can find precombined characters and combinable diacritical marks. If you

This is the same kind of issue as one of the earlier ones: the whole point of XeTeX is that one simply types what one wants into a Unicode editor (i.e., if you want an em-dash, you simply type an em-dash, and there is no need any more for TeX conventions like ---, \a, etc. etc.). Even if
