The current roman font does not contain the Cyrillic script!
TeX Live 2010 comes with a few monospaced fonts which support
Cyrillic. First choice: the TeX Gyre fonts. The Cursor font is clone
of Courier. The other good choice: Latin Modern
Thank you, Peter. I tried but it's still far from being satisfying. Too

Hello
I can't add anything on the technicalities involved in tweaking the kerning
of fonts, but in a couple of previous threads I've asked if it might be
possible to add a user-generated kern option (which would adjust and
supplement rather than completely overwrite the kerning information in

Please define \cyrillicfont with \newfontfamily.

To John: I don't think there should be copyright infringements, as I'm
modifying output, not the font per se. And what's more it's XeTeX that
gets it wrong, by apparently ignoring the *right* kerning set by font
designers. What

You probably mean -0.2ex. 2ex is twice the width of an x. This would
make the two characters change positions and sequence...
Now, back to the kerning=mykerns, I heard

Hmmm... I thought 1ex was the height of an `x', not it's width,
which makes measuring a width using ex's is kind of strange.
A dimension or length is a dimension or length. Do you give the size
of a box in ex \times em? Is a height inch
To Peter:
Yeah, it's -0.2ex, I made a typing error. Now, what about the
kerning=mykerns option that would allow me to set a standard paradigm
for this combination without having to look for add relevant
instructions ad infinitum?
Thank you

It's simple: improve XeTeX's code! Add some functions and

I have identified this issue as a serious bug in XeTeX.
In MinionPro-Regular.otf (version 2.068 is the one I have, but it's
likely that it applies to all versions), the relevant kerning definition
excerpt looks like the following:
feature kern {
lookup kern1 {
pos uni0423 uni0431.ital
