Dear gang, I just got home, installed the pdfetex binary from xemtex and, presto! problem solved:-))) Thank you everyone for coming to my rescue in my latest crisis, especially Hartmut and Taco for pointing me in the right direction;-) and thank you Ulrich, Fabrice and Hans. It's interesting that this issue in my work came up the same day that Fabrice set up the stuff on the xemtex site. My (very agnostic/atheist) logic professor*** from grad school would call this "almost a proof for the existence of God";-) Best to all and THNX!! Idris ***John Corcoran, an associate/editor of Tarski and one of the world's very top logicians
The latest mswincontext.zip has an older pdfetex, 1.20; this seems to be the problem. I will get the XemTeX version and test it when I get home this evening.
that version should kern as expected
