I have posted a new release of XeTeX in both i-Package and Apple
Installer formats; see:
http://scripts.sil.org/xetex
or my directory within i-Installer.
Version 0.84 includes a fix in the OpenType font handling that should
make fully-voweled Arabic text work without the words jumping around on
the page! (Other fonts could potentially be affected, too.)
It also includes new primitives that make it possible to query an
OpenType font to discover the available layout feature tags and
supported scripts/languages. There is no documentation of these at this
point, but a new file in the Sample Files archive demonstrates their
use. (These features are intended only for technically-inclined users
anyway <grin>!)
