[XeTeX] xetex and accents

[Radhakrishna Valiveti]

Hi,

   I am currently using xetex + fontspec (which are part of MikTeX v.7 for Windows). I am able to get xetex to use the fonts on my windows system. I want to control the placement of the accents generated with Tex commands such as \.{}, \={}, \d{}. Previously I was able to do this using the macros provided in exaccent.sty. I am wondering how I would accomplish the same result when xetex is directly using a native TTF font. 

  I have pasted a small test file at the end of this email. Any help/pointers are appreciated.

thanks,
radha

\setmainfont{Arial}

\DeclareTextCommand{\=}{T1}[1]{\upperaccent[1ex]{9}{#1}}   % upperaccent is defined in exaccent.sty
\DeclareTextCommand{\.}{T1}[1]{\upperaccent[1ex]{10}{#1}}  % The "1ex" is the relative position of the accent.
\DeclareTextCommand{\d}{T1}[1]{\loweraccent[1ex]{10}{#1}}
