Nobody said makeindex was perfect, just that it may be
sufficient for the job at hand.

Because you need to record each file's particular encoding in order to
share its contents with other users – or editors/TeX front-ends/TeX
engines.

On the matter of declining skills in typesetting I'm reminded of an
Oxford apocryphon of a printer who was preparing a Sanskrit grammar. The
printer contacted the author, an esteemed professor, with a crucial

questioned on matters

Well I'm still in the Press once a week at least (for choir practice!) so I
shall make sure these comments reach the right ears. They correspond,
unfortunately to my own impression. Leofranc Holford-Strevens works

Quite, but not entirely. If you use \XeTeXinputencoding to use some

I've heard many a story about the heroism of Holford-Strevens. I was
working with OUP-USA, who has much less experience with critical
editions, and so he wasn't involved. I recently enjoyed the erudition
in his Very Short Introduction to the History of Time.
I've also found the (Xe)TeX hyphenation
Yes, as you would guess, the copy-editor marked up my files by hand
and sent me the hard copy.
Recent OUP critical editions in Greek prose could use a lot more
copy-editing; I would assert that their production standards in this
area have fallen drastically in the last decade. We have new edition

since house style is not seen as so important and indeed there is no longer
