[XeTeX] Gentium, Tironian Et, and XeTeX

[Michiel Kamermans]

Hi Chris

I don't see the Tironian Et in Gentium (in fact, I see only the bare 
minimum of glyphs in the General Punctuation unicode block implemented 
in Gentium). However, I do see it in DejaVu Sans 
(dejavu.sourceforge.net/) and FreeFont (www.gnu.org/software/freefont/), 
and it shows up fine if I compile with those fonts.

If you're on windows, and your line of work involves exotic unicode 
character, you will want babelmap on the side 
(www.babelstone.co.uk/Software/BabelMap.html), to check which fonts 
implement the characters that you need - find your character, hit F7 for 
the font analysis tool, and pick "list all fonts that cover this unicode 
block", then go through the list to find out which fonts are useless, 
and which are not.
