Hi Pat,<br>There seems to be a problem in the way the glyphs are encoded in this symbol TTF. When I open it with a font editor, it tells me that, say, for a flower-like glyph, its unicode value is F037.<br>But when I try to access it through XeTeX's \char"F037 I get the following error:<br>
<br><div style="margin-left: 40px;">Package fontspec Info: Defining font family for 'Rococo Ornaments Two MT' with <br>options [Scale=MatchLowercase] on input line 5.<br>Package fontspec Info: Rococo Ornaments Two MT scale = 0.87437 on input line 5.<br>
<br>Package fontspec Info: Could not resolve font Rococo Ornaments Two MT/B (it mig<br>ht not exist) on input line 5.<br></div><br>Cheers!<br><br>Nicolas<br>

Hi Fr. Michael,<br>Sorry, same result.<br><br>However, I tried the following; I converted with a font editor the TTF to OTF, and it worked fine in XeTeX (I don't know if this implies some kind of copyright infringement, though).<br>
<br>I wonder if this difficulty in handling TT symbol fonts is due to the XeTeX engine, or if it is due to the TTF format.<br><br>Cheers!<br clear="all"><font color="#888888">Nicolas</font><div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c">

<u>Hi Fr. Michael Nicolas,</u><br><br>I'm using a TTF from Monotype (but I also tried with many other symbol TTFs from ITC, with the same result; I believe there's something strange with the symbol-font encondings.)<br>
<br>
My minimal example is:<br><br><div style="margin-left: 40px;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">\documentclass[12pt]{article}</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">

Hi Arthur and Fr. Michael,<br>I'm on windows Vista (and Ubuntu Linux, if needed). When I open the font with FontLab (I'm just now downloading FontLab), it tells me the font is encoded as "MS Windows Symbol". Its glyphs all have unicode names as, e.g., F088, F089, etc. But when I try to access them in XeTeX with \char"F088, nothing happens.<br>
Cheers!<br clear="all"><font color="#888888">Nicolas</font><div><div></div><div><br>

Hi, Jonathan,<br>Thanks for your reply. I had no luck, though. I still get the little square. And the SIL ViewGlyph doesn't work with OpenType fonts.<br><font color="#888888"><br>Nicolas</font><div><div></div><div>

Hi,<br>I've been unsuccessfully trying to use symbol OpenType fonts in XeTeX. I only get little squares as a result.<br>E.g.,<br><br>\fontspec[Scale=MatchLowercase]{Rococo Ornaments One MT}<br>1234567890<br>ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWYXZ<br>
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwyxz<br><br>Is there any trick for loading this fonts for XeTeX?<br><br>Cheers!<br clear="all"><font color="#888888">Nicolas Vaughan<br>
