Yes, that's what I am also thinking – but what can it be that changes  
the kerning the *first time on the line* (I could make the  
"sentences" continue in the next line by adding more logos and then  
added \large or \Large or \smallsize for the whole "document" to see  
it hopefully clearer) the logo is typeset and then corrects itself? I  
extending my example by putting more \XeTeX\ and \XeLaTeX\ logos on  
the line, make this normal or bold face and making the logos appear  
in \itshape, and the rule persists. So something in XeTeX (because  
your macros do not use fontspec?) has the first time on the line the  
value a for some dimension which is then changed to b because of some  
feature or table of these Hiragino fonts ... or it's something in  
graphicx.sty or graphics.sty or graphics.cfg or xetex.def or ?. Or is  
just glue poured between the components that make up the logos?
