V with macron does not exist in Unicode (but U with macron does, so it looks bad, until you invent a good macro to position the macron on the V), ȳ does not exist in Palatino Linotype. It's xdvipdfmx which finds the invalid glyph index (gid 1329). The Apple Font Tools suite shows only these glyphs with "132" in Palatino Linotype: <map charValue="0x00EB" glyphRefID="132"/> <map charValue="0x0132" charName="LATIN CAPITAL LIGATURE IJ" glyphRefID="275"/> <map charValue="0x017D" charName="LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Z WITH CARON" glyphRefID="132"/> <map charValue="0x1EF1" charName="LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH HORN AND DOT BELOW" glyphRefID="1320"/> <map charValue="0x1EF4" charName="LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Y WITH DOT BELOW" glyphRefID="1321"/> <map charValue="0x1EF5" charName="LATIN SMALL LETTER Y WITH DOT BELOW" glyphRefID="1322"/> <map charValue="0x1EF6" charName="LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Y WITH HOOK ABOVE" glyphRefID="1323"/> <map charValue="0x1EF7" charName="LATIN SMALL LETTER Y WITH HOOK ABOVE" glyphRefID="1324"/> <map charValue="0x1EF8" charName="LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Y WITH TILDE" glyphRefID="1325"/> <map charValue="0x1EF9" charName="LATIN SMALL LETTER Y WITH TILDE" glyphRefID="1326"/> <map charValue="0x20A0" charName="EURO-CURRENCY SIGN" glyphRefID="1327"/> So it might be better when you use Cardo (only one face) or Junicode. Both fonts are intended to typeset antique texts, the latter family exists in TeX Live (/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/fonts/truetype/public/junicode). -- Greetings Pete Almost anything is easier to get into than out of. – Allen's Law -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
