[XeTeX] Metrical sorts

[John Was]

Dear Jonathan

Many thanks - I'm sure that will be all I need.  The odd highly exceptional case can nearly always be catered for by combination of existing sorts.

Best


John

    Hi

    Does anyone  have a recommended font for metrical sorts to indicate vowel quantities, such as on the attached page?  (I would need the full range, including 'double short over long' etc., and most of them also have to be available as 'accents' above letters as well as free-standing characters, sometimes in combination with ordinary accents such as acute, though I can fiddle if necessary to achieve that sort of complication.)



  Have you looked at the character set supported by Charis SIL?


    http://scripts.sil.org/CharisSILFont


  These fonts include a wide range of symbols, including combining diacritics and separate marks, particularly those that are used in linguistic transcription and similar contexts. Pretty much the complete "extended Latin" set in Unicode, along with a rich collection of technical symbols and marks. I don't know whether this would meet your needs, but it might be worth checking.



  (See http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&item_id=CharisSIL_Technical#38fec032 for the specific Unicode ranges supported.)


  JK
