This sounds like yet another example of a common mistake in using PostScript characters which are formed as a letter plus a diacritical mark. You *must* have the base letter in the font in which you encode the letter/ mark combination. (Yes, I know they're not necessarily considered as letter + mark in natural-language terms...but PostScript sees them that way.) For an i with the marks you list, you need the "dotless i" character, since the marks are placed about where the dot would normally be. Chances are that you didn't hit the problem on a/e/o/u because the base letter is common and is in the encoding unless you explicitly take it out. -- Dick Dunn UUCP: {ncar,nbires}!ico!rcd (303)449-2870 ...Are you making this up as you go along?
