Dear Jonathan,<BR>
<BR>
Very impressive! There are no more vertical spacing problems in any of my edmac/ledmac files. I tried out Adobe Garamond Pro and Adobe Brioso Pro and they display and print flawlessly. When using mixed scripts (various Devanagaris for me) it still helps to use a high negative value of \lineskiplimit to avoid gaps between lines with different scripts (e.g. Brioso and Devanagari MT).<BR>

XeTeX has made my work suddenly so much easier, many thanks, yet again. I hope you keep up your work on this. <BR>
