[XeTeX] Hoefler italics and diacritics oddity

[Musa Furber]

Ok.

The only time that it is an issue is when I do transliteration. Since I 
send all transliterated text through a common macro, would it not be 
possible to quickly use TeX to perform a quick font change, just for 
that text? Would it be bad practice?
