Hi Neal, If there are real problems, I would like to try to fix them.
Would you please send me, all files for a test using FreeSerif only, with the command line you use to build it? (I tried xelatex on the test.tex file and the header file you posted, but I had to make a lot of changes just to get it to tex.) Thanks!
