Jonathan,

This is the way I always used to do it with LaTeX, for some reason I 
forgot to insert the TeXXeTstate. Thanks for pointing out the font at 
SIL's site to me. It works far better than Lucida Grande, and as far as 
I can see now, this this the only font in which all the kerning is 
good, even the cantilation marks.
