    Hello Els,

    TeX fonts tend to use their own conventions for glyph naming.
    Therefore in order to make them available for XEP you need a custom
    glyph list that maps glyph names to Unicode codepoints. This
    feature is described in our documentation, take a look at
    http://xep.xattic.com/xep/doc/userguide.html#PS_Fonts_Unicode.
    XEP distribution includes a sample glyph list for OmegaSerifIPA font.

    Best regards,

    r> I'd like to use the (TeX) Computer Modern font within XEP so that PDF pages

    r> <font name="cmr10"
    r> afm="..\afm\cm\cmr10.afm"

    r> embed="true"
    r> subset="true">
    r> <alias name="Computer Modern"/>
    r> </font>

    r> and so on, for the bold, italic and sansserif fonts.
    r> To the afm directory I added the .afm and .pfb files for the CM fonts.

    r> How can I render the other special characters properly?
    r> Who has dealt with this before and can point me into the right direction?
