== . == In TeX you can only access 256 glyphs at a time(With XeTeX and LuaTeX, it's over, thanks to UTF-8 support). Well, but even if you could access more of them, a glyph or two that you need may be absent in your favourite font.
== Choosing the proper encoding ==
First of all: make sure that you are using the proper encoding and the proper regime (see slso [[Encodings and Regimes- Old Content]]). Most problems can already be solved by deciding for the proper encoding (or by making one by your own).

(If you need a lot of non-standard accented characters, texnansi, the default, may not be the best choice. Consider using the '''ec''' or any other encoding - see [[Encodings and Regimes- Old Content]] for more info.)
== Composing characters ==
=== Cropping existing characters ===

== Rotating/mirorring characters ==
== Making your own encoding ==
[[Latin Modern Roman]] for example happens to have over 600 glyphs, so it may be that your favourite glyph (such as <code>udoublegrave</code>) is already there, but you can't access it using standard encodings. In this case you can write your own encoding and support for it. This way takes some more effort and skills than all of the above mentioned solutions and it also takes additional effort if you want to compile the document on another computer. But unless you are using [[XeTeX]], [[Aleph]], ... or any other TeX system which got rid of the 256-glyphs-limit, this is the only proper way if you're opting for high quality.
