<DIV><FONT face="Arial Unicode MS" size=2>Having installed the 2008 distribution
of XeTeX on a spare computer some time ago, I decided to go live with it this
evening, and find that my font calls are not picking up instructions such as
tex-text mapping. Has the syntax changed? Or, more easily perhaps,
what is wrong with the following?</FONT></DIV>

(and I was told that it might be part of the problem with calling
PSTricks). It likewise generated error messages at the console (this time
complaining that [ is not allowed in a font). But nevertheless I got valid
output so I didn't treat the messagese as anything serious. But now
the output is incorrect: I get ` and ' instead of true quotation marks,
double hyphens instead of enrules, and the letterspacing isn't invoked (the font
looks too cramped without some spacing). So it appears that all the
features I'm trying to invoke are being ignored.</FONT></FONT></SPAN></P>
