Question

The font I am using for titles in my document (Duvall) is missing the glyph for apostrophe.

I tried to work around this by defining a macro to use a superscript comma for the few occasions where I need an apostrophe in a title:

\newcommand{\apost}{\raisebox{1ex}{,}}

\section{Murphy\apost s Law}

This works fine for the display of the title, but in the ToC (which uses a different font) it displays as "Murphy,s Law".

Is there a way to redefine the apostrophe glyph for the Duvall font only?

Answer 1

Thanks for the hint to modify the font. I eventually managed to get what I wanted. It's a bit of a hack but good enough for the three headings in my document that contain apostrophes.

Here's what I did:

\RequirePackage{fontspec}

% Hack for missing apostrophe glyph in Duvall font

% Create a custom encoding based on TU which redefines single quote as comma
\DeclareUnicodeEncoding{apost}{
  \input{tuenc.def}
  \EncodingSymbol{\textquotesingle}{"002C}
}

% Apply the custom encoding to the Duvall font only
\newfontfamily\titlefont{DuvallSmallCaps}[NFSSEncoding=apost]

% Macro to raise comma so it becomes an apostrophe
\newcommand*{\apost}{\raisebox{1ex}{\textquotesingle}}

Now in the document:

\part{Murphy\apost s Law}

displays with a "smart" apostrophe (raised comma) in the body text and a normal single quote in the PDF table of contents.
