[XeTeX] polyglossia font warnings -- not sure what they mean

[Yves Codet]

Hello Youssef,

With the preamble you posted I don't get those errors.

This occured with older versions of Polyglossia but it should not  
happen with the current one (which comes with TeX Live 2009).

Maybe such errors will disappear if you install the latest version of  
Polyglossia (there was a little typo in gloss-french.ldf); you can  
find it here:

http://github.com/fc7/polyglossia/commit/f3190c950f0b769e8e8ba077da7185c4d824c210

François issued it on Sunday so perhaps it can't be installed through  
tlmgr yet. It's probably safer to replace files manually.

A detail: you don't need to load xunicode since xltxtra loads both  
fontspec and xunicode, so \usepackage{xltxtra} is enough.

Your environment citacao seems to be alright. The attached file  
compiles fine by me.
