Re: analyzing type-otf.tex

Hello Hraban,

thanks for pointing this out.

To Hans: the \typescriptthree indeed needs to go out of those
definitions (line 300 in type-otf).

To Hraban: encoding=uc has *zero* effect. To be honest - I doubt that
you will be able to extract any more than (theoretical limit of) 256
glyphs from the Type1 font with XeTeX - character slots and font
glyphs are in one-to-one correlation, so I doubt that you can access
the glyphs outside of those 256 slots (unless you make tfm & map
files, but that's probably the reason why one wants to use XeTeX - to
get rid of that encoding mess). So: I guess that Latin-1 works, but
encoding=uc is ignored anyway.

type-xtx contains quite some "uc" leftovers, but I'm not sure if
"fixing" them is a wise idea or not (backward compatibility).

Mojca
