[XeTeX] Strange Problem with xetex and Futura Font

[Radhakrishna Valiveti]

Hi, 

 I am using xelatex with Miktex 2.7. I have attached a small
test file to this note. I am having a problem with "Overfull hboxes"
when I use the futura font. This problem doesn't happen when I switch
to many other fonts (e.g. Trebuchet MS). This particular input results
in 5 overfull hboxes (and very badly formatted text, including breaks
in the middle of words) when I use the futura font. Can anyone help? 

 

thanks, 

radha
