accentscalligraphyfonts
is there any possibility that \calligra font will write chzech words like for example ž \v{z} ?
I use
\usepackage[IL2]{fontenc}, and it wrote words like á
\usepackage{calligra}\'{a}, bud did't ž \v{z}.
I tried \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}, but it didn't help.
Is there any possibility to write this words in \calligra?
Thank U very much, have a nice day.
The pnastwof package is full of \font declarations that are evil. The accent problem is due to the fact that the default font is a proprietary version of Frutiger that apparently has accents moved in different places.
If you want a preprint that is similar to the final result, avoid loading pnastwof and change the font setup. I really can't understand why the class and the package are written in this improper style. Leave to the copy editors do the appropriate changes.

Package inputenc is deactivated with recent LaTeX:
Package inputenc Warning: inputenc package ignored with utf8 based engines.
Therefore, ß is not active and mapped to \ss. It directly addresses the slot of the font callig15.pfb that is encoded in T1 font encoding. However, the position of ß in Unicode and T1 differs, the former is 223 (U+00DF), the latter is 255 (0xFF). At position 223, font Calligra does not have a glyph, therefore the missing sharp s.
Workaround: The sharp s can be made active:
\documentclass[10pt,final]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[
paperwidth=21cm, paperheight=10.5cm,
top=4mm, left=8mm, right=8mm, bottom=4mm]{geometry}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage[german,spanish]{babel}
\usepackage{calligra}
\usepackage[protrusion]{microtype}
\catcode`\ß=\active
\defß{\ss}
\begin{document}
\calligra
\selectlanguage{german}{

The copyright of the font callig15.pfb:
Copyright 1992 Peter Vanroose, 1999 S. Dachian You may freely use, modify and/or distribute this file, as long as this copyright notice is retained
Therefore, it should be allowed to generate the font in OpenType format with the fix for the width of ß. Package calligra redefines \ss to append a \kern-.22em.
This can be done with FontForge, either interactively or by a small Python script:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import fontforge
font = fontforge.open('callig15.pfb')
glyph = font['germandbls']
glyph.width -= .22 * font.em
font.generate('callig15.otf')
The generated font callig15.otf can be stored in the current directory or a TDS location. Example for TeX Live and shell bash:
export TDS=`kpsewhich -expand-var \\$TEXMFLOCAL`
echo $TDS
mkdir -p $TDS/fonts/opentype/public/calligra
cp callig15.pfb $TDS/fonts/opentype/public/calligra/
mktexlsr $TDS
Then the font can be used with LuaTeX/XeTeX. It is scaled as in package calligra. Because the scaling also affects the inter word space, it is
reversed for the space.

The font table shows all of the glyphs present in the font.
For LaTeX to typeset a character in a certain font, it must either be supported directly by the font e.g. the character is
@and the font contains an@symbol. Or, it must be possible to construct the character from characters the font does supply e.g. the character isŵand there's noŵin the font but there is awand a^accent suitable for combining with thew.Unfortunately, neither of these situations applies to
ž. In theory, I guess you could use a rotated^accent. However, you would either need to prepare a special virtual font and install it, or you would need to define a suitable command for producing it. The former would be better than the latter, but a lot more work. And neither is likely to give entirely satisfactory results.Here is a sampler of the non-rotated accent:
I'm not sure this would work terribly well rotated...? When I tried it, it looked almost identical, if not identical, to the non-rotated version so you might as well type
