Hi, Vladimir, Thank you for your assistance.

I'm not sure where xetex searches for otf files. At least when i remove this font from ~/.fonts, xetex substitutes bold version, not other medium one. > Yes, now I have seen you files.

Here is my pdfinfo output : (old xetex, directly or through -no-pdf and xdvipdfmx) Creator: XeTeX output 2010.10.12:1600 Producer: xdvipdfmx (0.6) CreationDate: Tue Oct 12 16:00:47 2010 Tagged: no Pages: 1 Encrypted: no Page size: 595.27 x 841.82 pts (A4) File size: 4628 bytes Optimized: no PDF version: 1.4 (TL2010, directly or through -no-pdf and xdvipdfmx) Creator: XeTeX output 2010.10.12:1602 Producer: xdvipdfmx (0.7.8) CreationDate: Tue Oct 12 16:02:02 2010 Tagged: no Pages: 1 Encrypted: no Page size: 595.28 x 841.89 pts (A4) File size: 3419 bytes Optimized: no PDF version: 1.5 So it is xetex interaction with the font that causes wrong kerning. What could be the next step? Vadim PS. There's also strange difference in A4 paper size. -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
