Apropos of this discussion, those members of this list who also
subscribe to the XeTeX mailing list will know that a few days ago
Apostolos Syropoulos asked for volunteers to test Frederika2016 :<br>
<br>
<span style="white-space: pre;">> I am working on the digitization of Frederica Zapf (the Greek part of
> Virtuosa Zapf) and I would like to know if there is anybody in this
> list who would like to play a bit with font and give me some
> feedback.</span><br>
<br>
I volunteered, Apostolos sent me a copy of the font, I installed it,
re-compiled the Catalogue of Greek MSS in LPL after changing the
Greek font from Palatino Linotype to Frederika2016, reported that a
couple of glyphs appeared to be missing (GREEK NUMERAL SIGN (Dexia
keraia) and GREEK LOWER NUMERAL SIGN (Aristeri keraia)) and that
was that.<br>
<br>
Today Apostolos sent me a new copy of the font, I installed it,
re-compiled, and found the glyphs still missing; Apostolos said they
were now present, sent test files to shew the missing glyphs were
found on his system, then suggested that perhaps I was still using
the old version of the font and sent a further version. The new
version also had no effect when installed.<br>
<br>
Then he sent a test file that referenced the font as
"[Frederika2016.otf]" rather than as "Frederika2016" as I had been
using, and with that change I too could now typeset GREEK NUMERAL
SIGN (Dexia keraia) and GREEK LOWER NUMERAL SIGN (Aristeri keraia)
using "[Frederika2016.otf]" but not if using "Frederika2016".<br>
<br>
I then :<br>
<blockquote type="cite">deleted every instance of Frederika2016.otf
I could find; deleted the font Frederika2016Italic from the
Windows font directory; ran fc-cache; re-booted; deleted a single
instance of Frederika2016 from the registry; and finally, in
desperation, I deleted the entire contents of :<br>
<br>
C:\TeX\Live\2016\texmf-var\fonts\cache<br>
<br>
When I next compiled Untitled-11, it re-created <br>
<br>
C:\TeX\Live\2016\texmf-var\fonts\cache<br>
<br>
found (somewhere, I wot not where) a file "Frederika2016.otf" and
a font "Frederika2016", compiled Untitled-11 without error, but
(of course) had missing glyphs for the two number signs. I have
not the slightest idea what is going on.<br>
</blockquote>
Can any knowledgeable person please tell me how I can ask
XeTeX/fontconfig where it is finding Frederika2016 ?<br>
