<DIV>Ok, so looks like I may have found a solution to the technical problem.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I've got fontspec loaded, and have created this command (for "Sumerian"):</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>\newcommand{\smn}[1]{{\addfontfeature{LetterSpace=15}{#1}}}</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>and it seems to work (if anyone knows of pitfalls I should beware of, please let me know). Just need to find or build a font with the characters I need.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks.</DIV>

<DIV>I'm typesetting text with MANY of these subscripts, and those particular items, including the subscripts, need to be subscripted at times, etc. It gets really messy.</DIV>

<DIV>I'd much rather use the native Unicode characters.<BR><BR>>>> Cyril Niklaus <cyril.niklaus@gmail.com> 23/09/2009 11:15:08 am >>><BR>What's wrong with using u\textsubscript{0123456789} ?<BR></DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
