If you want to know if XeTeX knows a font you should ask XeTeX and not
fontcache. If that's hard, XeTeX should be improved.

texdoc xetex only generates a man page style html file for the xetex

Alexander,
Are you including the xunicode package, which translates the traditional TeX

works for me (Windows, MiKTeX 2.7) with marks correctly placed. I happen to
