I don't know if this is related, but I've also noticed a strange case of kerning 
in the german abbreviation 'Vf.'

\font\1="Minion Pro" at 12pt
\1 Vf. Va 
\bye

Gives me too much negative kerning in 'Vf.', while the 'Va' is perfectly OK. 
Other application on my Mac behave as expected, so I think we can rule out a
problem with the font. Is my XeTeX broken?

TIA,
Malte
