[XeTeX] Opentype fonts with vrt2 + linux

[Wilfred van Rooijen]

Hello,

So we can conclude from Arthur's and JK's response
that ICU is supposed to work, but it doesn't always. I
added JK's suggestions (Script=CJK, removed 'R' from
font name) but the result is exactly the same.

Some details:

rooijen at love206a-rooijen ~/Xelatex/Japanese $ fc-list
| grep Koz
Kozuka Mincho Pro\-VI,小塚明朝
Pro\-VI,Kozuka Mincho Pro\-VI
R,小塚明朝 Pro\-VI
R:style=R,Regular
Kozuka Gothic
Pro,小塚ゴシック
Pro,Kozuka Gothic Pro
M,小塚ゴシック Pro
M:style=M,Regular

The log file shows no warnings whatsoever,
unfortunately. To be sure:

rooijen at love206a-rooijen ~/Xelatex/Japanese $ xelatex

Compiled with ICU version 3.4 [with modifications for
XeTeX]
Compiled with zlib version 1.2.3; using 1.2.3
Compiled with FreeType2 version 2.2.1; using 2.2.1
Compiled with fontconfig version 2.2.1; using 2.4.2
Compiled with libpng version 1.2.15; using 1.2.15
Compiled with xpdf version 3.01

BTW in the article I have also included some cuneiform
(Code2001 font), Klingon and Tengwar (Code2000 font)
to show what XeTeX can do. I think it's pretty
impressive.
