The problem is that XeTeX handles them as if they were Latin1/Unicode-encoded (if you type in Yen, you'll get whatever glyphy is present at that slot independint of font encoding), so the only way to get other characters from EC encoding is to: a) "redefine" (make active) some parts of Unicode (\def=E8{\ccaron}) b) extend XeTeX, so that it knows which glyph is "hidden" on which slot c) forget about support for Type1 fonts Another thing to adapt is (again :) the \enableregime macro (see http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Encodings_and_Regimes_in_XeTeX for some notes about that), so that regimes will work with XeTeX as well. Two possibilities are: a) \XeTeXinputencoding "somename" for native XeTeX handling, but with the same problems with EC fonts as above b) \XeTeXinputencoding "bytes" + loading the regime definitions with exactly the same behaviour as in pdfTeX, but without the support for non-latin regimes Mojca
