I think the Adobe Glyph Naming Conventions are supposed to address that: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/opentype/archives/glyph.html That page provides an algorithm that is supposed to be used to convert glyph names into sequences of Unicode character points. If your glyphs are named according to it, and if the PDF software follows it too, then PDF software is supposed to be able to figure out what characters a glyph represents for search purposes, even if it's not a standard ligature. Of course, there's no guarantee that a given package really will support the rules properly. -- Matthew Skala msk...@ansuz.sooke.bc.ca People before principles. http://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/ -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
