But he indicated he already tried in subsequent messages, so I think he already knows by the time of reading may reply. As there are several ways to set font features in fontspec (\defaultfontfeatures, as an option to any of the \set*font commands, as an option to \fontspec, \addfontfeatures) I didn't want to mention them all as it'll just add to the confusion, or mention only one way because it might give false message it is the only way. May intent was to say "it is a regular options like other options you already tried", but may be I did it the wrong way. And there is always a manual one can refer to. -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localiser and member of Arabeyes.org team Free font developer -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
