All this makes sense, except the regression. It used to work. The code that made it work has been either removed or broken. Is this not a bug? I don't want to have to restrict my choice of fonts when code exists/existed to seamlessly give me what I used to have. Surely this is regressing many documents around the world.<br>

</div>V with macron does not exist in Unicode (but U with macron does, so it looks bad, until you invent a good macro to position the macron on the V), ȳ does not exist in Palatino Linotype. It's xdvipdfmx which finds the invalid glyph index (gid 1329). The Apple Font Tools suite shows only these glyphs with "132" in Palatino Linotype:<br>
<br>
<map charValue="0x00EB" glyphRefID="132"/><br>
<map charValue="0x0132" charName="LATIN CAPITAL LIGATURE IJ" glyphRefID="275"/><br>
<map charValue="0x017D" charName="LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Z WITH CARON" glyphRefID="132"/><br>
<map charValue="0x1EF1" charName="LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH HORN AND DOT BELOW" glyphRefID="1320"/><br>
<map charValue="0x1EF4" charName="LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Y WITH DOT BELOW" glyphRefID="1321"/><br>
<map charValue="0x1EF5" charName="LATIN SMALL LETTER Y WITH DOT BELOW" glyphRefID="1322"/><br>
<map charValue="0x1EF6" charName="LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Y WITH HOOK ABOVE" glyphRefID="1323"/><br>
<map charValue="0x1EF7" charName="LATIN SMALL LETTER Y WITH HOOK ABOVE" glyphRefID="1324"/><br>
<map charValue="0x1EF8" charName="LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Y WITH TILDE" glyphRefID="1325"/><br>
<map charValue="0x1EF9" charName="LATIN SMALL LETTER Y WITH TILDE" glyphRefID="1326"/><br>
<map charValue="0x20A0" charName="EURO-CURRENCY SIGN" glyphRefID="1327"/><br>
<br>
So it might be better when you use Cardo (only one face) or Junicode. Both fonts are intended to typeset antique texts, the latter family exists in TeX Live (/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/fonts/truetype/public/junicode).<br>
