Someone on the FontForge list go= t =20 Minion Opticals working in Aleph or Omega; I'll see if he would be willin= g =20 to share how he did it. And please send queries to the aleph list as well. Yes, the traffic is =20 low, but it heats up every now and then-) Best Idris PS I have a lot of sample files for rl-lr typesetting floating around the= =20 aleph and old omega lists. Your system should have the omega support file= s =20 (mostly fonts and ocp's), which I do not think come with XeMTeX, though =20 the last fpTeX version should have them.
