He is probably referring to the same problem mentioned at least twice in this list. See for example the thread starting here:<br><a href="http://tug.org/pipermail/xetex/2009-April/012835.html">http://tug.org/pipermail/xetex/2009-April/012835.html</a><br>
and more directly this older message:<br><a href="http://tug.org/mailman/htdig/xetex/2009-March/012372.html">http://tug.org/mailman/htdig/xetex/2009-March/012372.html</a><br><br>I am wondering if this is solved indeed.<br>

Hi guys!<br>
<br>
I've been noticing strange behaviour of xetex when using monospaced fonts, actually, the offending behaviour only raises when puncuation signs are present, it looks like xetex's adding extra space for them.<br>
<br>
I begun looking on the net for this, finding reports of the same problem within this same mailing list, but without solution a priori.<br>
<br>
So I wanted to ask if this has been solved already, or is it that the ones which have asked this are doing something wrong?<br>
<br>
Among other things, I've tried enabling frenchspacing, and even producing similiar texts with inkscape and plain tex at the beginign, so as to check the problem is not in the font itself (tried with different mono fonts anyway), etc.<br>

It's hard to be sure exactly what you mean without seeing an example, but this sounds like it might be a font-metrics bug in the xdvipdfmx driver, which was fixed in the source a month or so ago. So the version that ships with TeX Live 2009 (currently being tested in preparation for release) should solve this.<br>
