[XeTeX] Looking for a better font selection method

[Will Robertson]

Hi,

Sounds like Doulos SIL needs to expand its character repertoire by a  
hundred thousand characters or so :)

Not at present. Theoretically, a whole lotta active characters could  
do it, but that's impractical and very ugly.

The only real solution at the moment is to logically tag all of your  
text, as you've done. There's a possibility in the future that  
virtual fonts could handle what you want (rather than a fallback- 
font, it would be more a combination-of-fonts), but I don't  
understand the full ramifications of such a scheme.

Sorry!

Will
