I need to put a diacritical dot over a character, and a dot under another character in Tamil/malayalam. The usual TeX commands \.{} and \d{} do not seem to work here, even if I use double parenthesis \.{{ }} or \d{{ }}. The followinmg does not work
\def\tam{\fontspec[Script=Tamil]{Latha}} \tam \d{{\tam ரி}} \.{{\tam ரி }} Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
