(to clarify: 'odd' is not emphasized in header)
This is common problem for all 'gloss-*.ldf' files which have
'\normalfontlatin' in they definitions (for example: greek, bulgarian,
ukrainian, serbian, coptic). If you comment '\normalfontlatin' in
'gloss-russian.ldf' you get desired result.
This problem doesn't appear if you use 'fancyhdr' package (it should be
loaded after polyglossia of course).

[XeTeX] gloss-russian.ldf bug
Dear all,
After upgrade to version [2010/03/23 v1.1.1] of polyglossia, i cannot switch

It is indeed! What you've found has been found and fixed earlier, last
autumn, by Ross Moore. The cause is that PostScript and PDF divide one
inch into 72 equal parts (TeX big points, bp) while TeX gets 72.27
equal parts from 1".
Just update MiKTeX! If you don't want to perform this, you can also
change graphics.sty:
I'm trying to see how to force this extra scaling to occur,
using the macros provided in LaTeX's graphics.sty .
Here's how to remove the discrepancy:
\piccommand
}\dimen0=\wd0 \dimen2=\ht0
\edef\next{\egroup
% \def\noexpand\...@urx{\strip@pt\dimen0}% replace these 2
lines
% \def\noexpand\...@ury{\strip@pt\dimen2}% with the 2 that
follow
\def\noexpand\...@urx{\the\dimen0}%
\def\noexpand\...@ury{\the\dimen2}%
}%
\next
\...@defaultbp\gin@llx{0}%
\...@defaultbp\gin@lly{0}%
\expandafter\...@defaultbp\expandafter\gin@urx
\expandafter{\...@urx}%
\expandafter\...@defaultbp\expandafter\gin@ury
\expandafter{\...@ury}%
The difference occurs due to the last 2 lines, which provides a way
to scale into big-points, using the factor: 72/72.27 ~ .996264

[XeTeX] Asymptote
Hi all, Earlier today I reported this bug concerning Asymptote: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3006849&group_id=12&atid=685683 John Bowman (who is, I think, member of the Asymptote team) made this comment: "This is not an Asymptote bug. In fact, it works fine for me with XeTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.2-0.9995.2 (TeX Live 2009) All that Asymptote does is prepare a XeLaTeX file for you; it won't fix a broken XeLaTeX installation. If some more recent version of xelatex fails you need to report that to the xelatex developers. Run asy -k -tex xelatex test.asy to generate the test_.tex and test_0.pdf..." Well, the XeTeX that I use has version number, 3.1415926-2.2-0.9995.1 and so it is not exactly the same as his and I cannot exclude the possibility that my version is "broken" in some sense. Nevertheless, I would like know the opinion of people with more knowledge about this than me.

I got the error only after I enabled the hyphenation patters. This
indicates that the problem are not spaces but hyphenation. The
documentation of soul says that "Reconstruction failed" means that
soul gots confused about the width of the sylables. The width is
measured by the width of -. So this need to be set too. So
\makeatletter
\font\s...@tt="FreeMono-Normal"
\setbo...@\hbox{\soul@tt-}
\s...@ttwidth\wd\z@

should do the job (I had to use another font for testing.)
Many thanks for your help. I knew that this happened when enabling
hyphenation patterns, but I had no idea how to solve it.
It works like charm.
I will report it the fix to the soul/soulutf8 developers. Of course,
giving you credit (because credit is due :-)).
(And the second \makeatletter in my first posting was naturally
simply a typo.)
This was my fault, because I simply copied and pasted the code, without
almost reading it. (I know that \makeatletter ends with \makeatother,
although I'm not sure what are they used for ;-).)
Many thanks again for your help,
Pablo
