Letterspacing works fine with Latin glyphs. With Greek glyphs there is
something relly weird (and it makes no difference if I use soulutf8
instead of soul): there is no text after punctuation characters, so if
there is no punctuation character, there is no letterspaced text.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Hi Pablo:
I did a little experimenting with your sample ... and I'm not sure
what's actually happening, but if I load /this/ preamble and change the
polyglossia commands to what I've used before (although there may be
reasons for what you've got), I get unusual results, too.
Here's the sample I used:
\documentclass[10pt]{book}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\setmainfont{Garamond Premier Pro}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setdefaultlanguage{english}
\setotherlanguage[variant=ancient]{greek}
\usepackage{soul}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\newcommand\whitecomma{\textcolor{white}{,}}
\begin{document}
This is only a \so{test}.
“Mind” is the English translation for \textgreek{\so{νοῦς.}}
“Mind” is the English translation for \textgreek{\so{νοῦς\whitecomma}}
and the Greek for “soul” is \textgreek{\so{ψυχή.}}
\end{document}
You notice, I loaded a different font (I don't have yours) and loaded
xltxtra --- which loads fontspec and xunicode as well. Now, I made the
command \whitecomma because with this file, if there /isn't/ punctuation
in the \so braces, nothing appears from the \so argument or after. So,
the \whitecomma is to facilitate rendering the text, but making the
punctuation "invisible".
This may be a bad idea for various reasons, but it seems to work around
the problem.
HTH.
