[XeTeX] XeLaTeX and unicode footnote symbols

[Álex Bueno]

Hi,

I'm glad this issue was brought up, as I hadn't noticed it. What I'm  
doing is a bit different, but fnsymbol doesn't come out correctly; it  
uses the math symbols font instead:

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{fontspec,xunicode,fixltx2e,xltxtra}
\usepackage[multiple]{footmisc}
\usepackage{manyfoot}

\setromanfont{Minion Pro}

\DeclareNewFootnote[plain]{B}[fnsymbol]

\begin{document}
	*\footnotemarkB{}
	\footnotetextB{*}
	
	†\footnotemarkB{}
	\footnotetextB{†}
\end{document}


If I understand correctly, the xunicode and fixltx2e packages are  
supposed to handle this?

Thanks,
Alex
