Does anyone know a font that prints the Nez Perce/Nimipuu language, specifically the special character of x with dot under it (Times New Roman seems to do most of the other characters)?

    You need to ask program questions in the forum for the program you are using

    not sure what you mean----I'm using adobe suite, so don't all the fonts cross programs? I'm happy to move the question, just not sure how to do what you're asking.....

    Thanks,

    The alphabets and overall number of glyphs in a font file will vary widely from one type family to the next. Some system fonts, such as Arial in Microsoft Windows, may have thousands of glyphs. Fonts in other type families may have a bare minimum of glyphs to only cover the Latin alphabet.

     

    Even Arial doesn't appear to have a "X" glyph with a dot below it. The glyph may not have a Unicode designation. Native American alphabets aren't well supported in digital typefaces. It looks like some people are able to create it combining a dot below mark (U0323) with characters above it.
