[XeTeX] JunkEmail: Re: Metrical sorts

[John Was]

Dear Peter

Thanks for that - I'll follow the lead and try out the Medieval font and 
others that people have helpfully suggested.  I'm only just getting 
acquainted with Open Type features so a basic Unicode font is all I need (or 
can safely handle) at the moment.

Best


John
