Werner,
that is very much what I would like to use. And I tried, I actually
use it always by default, but I still end up with missing characters.
You didn't have by any chance have a look at the file/fonts I mailed
you off-list? I suspect I simply didn't convert them correctly, but I
have no idea what could be wrong. As I previously wrote, I used the
method from mom's manual.
