It worked fine in TL'12, the PDF's that failed are in directory
http://hroch486.icpf.cas.cz/xetex-test/0.9999.2-r2525/ (ie XeTeX
0.9999.2 and FreeFont rev 2525), see vatu.pdf in that directory. The
remaining files in this directory show other problems. Whenever there
is a new version of XeTeX, I can rerun my tests and report the
results.
