Well as I said I have no idea what Estrangelo, Serto, Nestorian ... actually are ;-). So I don't know if a hook should be based on font categories (like family, shape, series), or on a language switch (like the \textlatin command in polyglossia) or some meaningful environment. All I wanted to say is that fontspec contains a lot of commands which can be used. -- Ulrike Fischer -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
