I have not found such a mapping, however (apart from the Norwegian effort which stimulated me to merge what I had with their work). remember also that "TeX" does not necessarily mean anything - people can choose different names for the same characters. sigh. and also remember that there has been a lot of work done in the font area in the last couple of years - we now have new standard names for things like the degree sign. > There are definitely some cases where's there's > room for choice, and I think we need to make sure the backends behave > consistently (or maybe leverage glyph-id characteristic).

I'd be happy to do any necessary work to make that happen. remembering of course that some entities may expand to a *sequence* of TeX macros... but i have not yet read about glyph-id stuff. can you expand on your example and show how it would work in practice? sebastian DSSSList info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/dsssl/dssslist
