right... the whole font encoding stuff seems to be a problem, that's  
why my fonts get substituted etc.

right... but now i need hyphenation :) is it possible to 'simply'  
include three hyphenations files and then define some new language  
selection commands which only apply proper hyphenation? your variant  
with only one font looks of course nice, but without proper  
hyphenation i can't possibly write a document for university :)

hm - everything worked for me, all links etc. just the pdf-bookmarks  
are completely messed up. as jonathan already pointed out... won't  
work with xetex right now :( is there a way to generate that later?  
somehow? my document is not very large, possibly i could do it by  
hand...
