Dear XeTeX & TeXworks users ... When typesetting this year's Christmas newsletter, I ran into real problems with the names of one of my friends, who in Pinyin requires a third-tone u ("ǔ"); neither in TeXworks nor in the final typeset document could I get this to appear. In TeXworks, it appeared as a heavy solidus; in the typeset document, as a blank space. Is this a really rare character in font terms, and if not, which fonts would you recommend for (a) TeXworks, and (b) the final typeset document ? In the end, I had to substitute "ŭ", which is superficially similar and easily understood by any reader of Pinyin, but is not really the right character for the job.
