[XeTeX] Guaranteed Unicode replacement glyph in every TeX installation?

[Ross Moore]

Hi Doug.


Here’s a better screen shot:




BTW, you can load the fonts distributed with TeX into FontBook, as I’ve done here. 
It helps to have a symbolic link from your home directory into the  texlive/  hierarchy,
so that you can more easily navigate the directory paths from within Mac menus.


Hope this helps.
