I removed my texlive Junicode font set (dated 2009) and installed the "secret" ones from the CVS below, and presto, the minimal example "sa\d{m}kalita" posted by Nathan worked perfectly. Saṃkalita, for the non-Sanskritists, means "added together, accumulated," as, I suppose, a letter and a diacrit

I can't reproduce the problem, but I'm using the CVS version of Junicode. I suppose there was some bug or missing feature that has been supplied or fixed since the last release. I suggest that you grab this: http://faculty.virginia.edu/OldEnglish/secret/junicode-cvs.zip Install the fonts and s

Thanks to everyone that responded. It does seem that the error message is unrelated (since I don't get it with the minimal example, below), however, the issue with Junicode (and Times Translit) persists even with this minimal example: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{fontspec} \setmainfon

Nathan, There seems to be something wrong in the way you are loading the fonts (as shown by the OT1 complaint). Make sure you are using XeTeX and fontspec (to handle the fonts) if you want to use Opentype or TrueType fonts. Maybe your editor is trying to compile with a different engine behind y
