[XeTeX] GFS Didot

[Andrew Moschou]

Hi everyone,

It seems that GFS Didot italic is broken. This example:

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}

\usepackage{fontspec}

\def\G{αβγδεζηθικλμνξοπρςστυφχψω\par}

\def\L{abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz\par}

\def\all#1{#1\textit{#1}\textbf{#1\textit{#1}}}

\def\fs#1{\fontspec{#1}#1:\par\smallskip\all{\L}\smallskip\all{\G}\bigskip}

\begin{document}

\fs{Frutiger Linotype}

\fs{GFS Didot}

\fs{GFS Bodoni}

\end{document}


produces a strange result for GFS Didot italic, attached, it appears that
the correct metrics are used, but wrong glyphs are printed. Can other people
reproduce it? Would this be a bug in the font or in XeTeX? The other fonts,
including other GFS fonts do work as expected. This is done using using
XeTeX version 3.1415926-2.2-0.999.2, the most recent MiKTeX update. There is
no problem using an unmodified out of the box TeX Live 2007 in OpenSolaris.
