I try to put \textsuperscript{ère} with Roman digits everywhere in document but as I understood the command \textsuperscript{} in French makes effect for all symbols except of "è"?

This solution didn't help.

Could somebody help to fix it? Here is the code:

\documentclass[12pt]{report} 

\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{xunicode}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\usepackage[babel=false]{csquotes}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setdefaultlanguage{french}
\setotherlanguages{german,english,greek,polish,russian}
\setmainfont[Mapping=tex-text]{Linux Libertine}
\usepackage{setspace}

\newfontfamily\greekfont[Script=Greek,Mapping=tex-text]{CMU Serif}
\newfontfamily\russianfont[Script=Cyrillic,Mapping=tex-text]{CMU Serif}

\begin{document}

I\textsuperscript{ère}

\end{document}

And the result:

enter image description here

This seems to be due to the way xltxtra redefines the \textsuperscript macro: this seems to be thrown by Linux Libertine, as shown by the minimal example:

\documentclass{article} 
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\setmainfont[Mapping=tex-text]{Linux Libertine O}

\begin{document}

I\textsuperscript{ère}

\end{document}

Luckily, it can be fixed using the no-sscript option:

\documentclass{article} 
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage[no-sscript]{xltxtra}
\setmainfont[Mapping=tex-text]{Linux Libertine O}

\begin{document}

I\textsuperscript{ère}

\end{document}

(I've got the font name as Linux Libertine O as on my Mac this is the file name needed to get XeTeX to actually find it.)

    If you read the xltxtra documentation, this issue is discussed with a different font. What's happening is that xltxtra is using real superscripts rather than the usual shrunk-and-shifted characters. However, some superscript glyphs are missing from Linux Libertine, and so only those it has end up superscript! – Joseph Wright Apr 05 '11 at 18:39

This works:

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} % or latin1
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[french]{babel}
\begin{document}
\textsuperscript{ère}
\end{document}

Select the right encoding for your system.

  • Thank you. But I'm using \usepackage{fontspec} \usepackage{xunicode} \usepackage{polyglossia} Could you give an advise what should I do in this case? – filokalos Apr 05 '11 at 16:36
  • @filokalos: as Seamus suggested you before, please provide a minimal example allowing us to reproduce the problem. I did a test with a document with the packages you just mentioned and couldn't reproduce your problem. – Gonzalo Medina Apr 05 '11 at 17:07
  • @Gonzalo Medina @Seamus Sorry, I've just corrected the post. – filokalos Apr 05 '11 at 18:28
