Hi Pander!

The OpenType font "features" in effect for these characters are 'mark' and 'mkmk' positioning, not kerning.

In the absence of these positioning features, the mark will be placed sort of over the previous character, but in an ill-informed way, that typically won't look good. It usually works OK for the monospace faces for the obvious reason--until you try to put a mark over a capital letter, that is.

Anyway, I went ahead and put mark anchor points on U+25CC in the non-monospace faces that had that character.

Thanks for your report!

According to this post:
http://tug.org/pipermail/xetex/2011-February/019875.html
this might be an invalid bug report.

However, fixing this in kerning with U+25CC allows for nice presentation of all combining diacritics in these fonts.

Hozontal alignment is incorrect for combining diacritics U+0300 - U+036F in FreeSerif and FreeSans. However they are correct for FreeMono.

This can be reproduced in version 1.344 of the fonts when running xelatex from TeX Live (latest version) on attachment.

Note that U+034f is a special case.

Please fix this in the next release.
