Just a curious question: why do you want to use a font that is "a bit broken"? Who else would/should use a "broken font"?<br><br>Rembrandt<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Feb 6, 2009 at 9:00 AM, Pander <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:pander@users.sourceforge.net">pander@users.sourceforge.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Thanks all for the help.<br>
<br>
I have confirmed that both 'API PHONÉTIQUE' and 'IPA PHONETICS' are<br>
not working with XeTeX. First of all because the double space is reduced<br>
to a signle space when searching the font. This is a bug in XeTeX, I<br>
think and should be fixed. What is you opinion about this?<br>
<br>
That the fonts themselves are a bit broken and should not be used is a<br>
second issue, but is outside of XeTeX, see<br>
<a href="https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ttf-linex" target="_blank">https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ttf-linex</a> when some one would like<br>
to report a fix. I couldn't get them working with the PostScript.<br>
<br>
