The results of finding in some other font the character would not satisfy<br>

I fail to understand the reasoning for this statement.<br>

I am sure you don't intend that NO GLYPH is better rather than allowing the<br>
end-user being able to specify at least a basic fallback set of glyphs?<br>

Partial misunderstanding – as in "ᏍᎪᎯ: Skoh-Hee". Does the last syllable sound like "hay" (or some other form of money) or different, like in German for example? </blockquote><div>More like the English pronoun 'he'</div>

I assumed you were thinking of an automatic means as it exists in Mac OS X's font service or in GNU Emacs. Their results are not always satisfying. In XeTeX you simply make that character active, i.e. kind of a TeX command, and use just it:<br>
<br>
\newfontfamily\ogonekfont{good looking font}<br>
<br>
\catcode`ǫ=\active<br>
\defǫ{\ogonekfont o\char"0328\relax}<br>
<br>
The \def looks simpler when you do not need to combine. Then you can also abandon the \relax. (In the XeTeX mailing list archive you can find a hundred of examples: <a href="http://www.tug.org/pipermail/xetex/" target="_blank">http://www.tug.org/pipermail/<u></u>xetex/</a>.)<br>
