XeTeX does not work correctly, it stumbles over an error. What makes you assume that the output could then be correct? Sorry, I missed it. Where was the error -- except for wrong kerning in the output? BTW, texlive/2010/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf is the configuration file read by *TeX utilities.

Just as a postscript to this thread, I've several times asked for (and still hope to see) a custom kerning facility in XeTeX (this is already available in LuaTeX). The idea would be that when you call up a font you can say ':kerning=mykern.krn' just as you can say ':mapping=tex-text'. The

Are all those lookup tables assigned to the 'kern' feature within the same script and language system? If so, then they're cumulative. If the lookups are each assigned to a different script/language, then they shouldn't all be applied at the same time. Thank you, Jonathan, Yes, they were
