[texhax] xetex: using fonts with missing glyphs

[Lim Lian Tze]

Hello Susan,

I'm just back from

Sorry to hear about that! Hope you're much better now.

I don't know if the following snippet (for Chinese) at
http://bbs.ctex.org/viewthread.php?tid=56076 would serve your purpose:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\font\1="AR PL SungtiL GB"
\font\2="SimHei"

\1
这个%
\newcount\aaa
\aaa=`乗%
\iffontchar\1\aaa  \char\aaa \else {\2\char\aaa}\fi
\end{document}


Basically the example first uses AR PL SungtiL GB as the font. It then tests
if the character 乘 is defined in the font; if it is, the same font is used;
otherwise switch to SimHei. You could define a new command from this
snippet, depending on your needs.

Best regards,
