I have been in the process of rewriting bidi package in dtx (usind ltxdoc
with hypdoc package) source and it appears that fontspec has a bug. As soon
as I add the fontspec package and run xelatex twice on bidi.dtx, I get this

Hi Vafa,
there have been some reports of fontspec 2.0b clashing with the
verbatim environment. It should be fixed in fontspec 2.0c which should
be syncing to mirrors somewhere today.
Just repeating what I got form other mailing lists, not sure if its
what you're running into.

Thank you. Does anyone have a suggestion about what I *should* do in its stead
in order to achieve the desired effect?
Many thanks,

The command you're probably looking for is \char" where is
the hexadecimal number of the glyph in the font. You don't know the
number? See b
P.S. fontforge is a font editor but it also tells you where the glyphs
you are looking for are and what their hex numbers are. You could also
try this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gucharmap, though.

Hello,
can anybody tell me how to implement a patach furtivum? I copied a short
passage from a Bible software supporting unicode but the "furtivum
feature" got lost. The last patach is supposed to be shifted between
chet and yod. I found no information about typing it in the

Hi Carsten,
Try The Ezra SIL SR font for the cheth and pathach. I believe will
position the pathach correctly. (Meaning, I've done that in MS Word but
haven't tried it in *TeX (yet). Still in process of getting up and
running on my new machine

I have to confess that when I first read your message,
I thought that a patach furtivum was a mis-spelled
Linnaean binomial (mis-spelled because the genus
was not capitalised) for some obscure species
of ground-hugging plant ... Now I realise that it is
a linguistic term, I can at least try your
OOPS--may have got it backwards. It's been a while.
Apologies...

You are right, Efraim, it works for Ezra SIL.

There is also the possibility of intelligent input methods, e.g. IBus,
which has Unicode and LaTeX input methods (besides a lot of input
methods for non-european scripts).
