Problem solved. It turned out to be a fileencoding issue with vim. om.tmac is latin1 encoded, and somehow the copy I'm working from ended up utf8. Didn't spot it until I diffed my copy with the original and saw that some .tr requests involving diacritics were being diffed out and replaced with gobbledygook. Though that doesn't explain refer's "working in some places but not in others" behaviour with respect to named glyphs. Rainy day problem, I guess. -- Peter Schaffter Author of The Binbrook Caucus http://www.schaffter.ca
