<br>
After switching to Tex Live 2012/Debian, upon compiling my
book, an extraneous comma is inserted</font></font><font
size="+1"><font face="Linux Biolinum O"> into </font></font><font
size="+1"><font face="Linux Biolinum O">the body text </font></font><font
size="+1"><font face="Linux Biolinum O"> </font></font><font
size="+1"><font face="Linux Biolinum O">directly before</font></font><font
size="+1"><font face="Linux Biolinum O"> every footnote number.<br>
<br>
THE GOOD<br>
E.g., The following produces expected results.</font></font><font
size="+1"><font face="Linux Biolinum O"><br>
<br>
\documentclass[12pt]{book}
<br>
\usepackage{fontspec}<br>

</font></font><br>
<font size="+1"><font face="Linux Biolinum O">
\usepackage{xeCJK}
<br>
\setCJKmainfont[]{AR PL UKai TW}
<br>
\begin{document}<br>
But if he doesn't ``\emph{See through it and let it
go},"\footnote{看得破，放得下。\emph{Kàn de pò, fàng de xià}.} the karma
will carry forward....

\end{document}<br>
<br>

The book is 99.5% typeset so it is not practical to switch away
from memoir at this point. If there is a way to use Chinese
fonts without using xeCJK, I could try that. </font></font><font

of that extraneous comma?</font></font><br>
