Text with "western script" can easily use different fonts or variants: You can change the family (\ttfamily, \sffamily,...) or switch to a variant with \itshape. Similar things can naturally be done with other scripts too. Check the fontspec documentation for ideas.
I'm way out of my depth here, but looking at the entry for Syriac in Daniels & Bright;s "The World's Writing Systems" is seems to me that it would be a major deviation from the intended and apparent meaning of \ttfamily, \slfamily or \itshape if one were to try to use them for switching between Estrangelo, Serto, Nestorian & Jacobite. Are there no more better hooks that can be used for switching between related scripts that do not fall into the categories that Ulrike proposes ? ** Phil. -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
