Maybe I could make a similar mechanism >for my normal-expert dyad. font-ini for os > OldStyle type-syn for OldStyle > MathItalic in most cases. But I would recommend looking at font variants. The "palatino bonus" at the end of type-syn is a brief example, and the wiki has some stuff about Font Variants as well. But wait, where are you coming from? Are your source fonts really Minion .pfbs, or are they from OpenType? With OpenType, you can use some nice TeXFont stuff to select the features (OSF, SC, alternates) without having to draw from two arbitrary encodings. adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.
