a few fonts.
The problem is that I need diacritics for Indian languages. In
pdflatex I use ucs for the

Dear Juergen,
Nice to see you here (I just read your 2011 I. Taurinensia paper last
night!).
Yes, you are right, some fonts just don't have the right characters in

Dear Dominik,
Do you have any opinion on Junicode or Latin Modern for transliteration
from Indic languages?

Sorry, I meant searchability/reusability of the text in the source of
your document, not the o

have the highest respect for Don Knuth's work and the Modern style, but

Thank you all for the valuable comments, I learnt quite a bit on XeTeX!
Like Dominic I also thought out of loyality to use a Zapf font. I like
and have once used Aldus, so let us hope the otf-version contains all
the glyphs needed.
