[XeTeX] Unproportional font scaling

OK, I updated fontspec but can't notice any change when using any of these options. I tried with .otf and .ttf fonts, positive and negative numeric arguments and still nothing. I'm using XeTeX 0.996-patch2. Are these options for later XeTeX versions only?

Okay, as soon as CTAN is mirrored, it will now be in sync with the SVN  
repository; both versions will be v1.18. Back to the original  
question, you can now write

\fontspec[FakeSlant,FakeBold,FakeStretch]{Georgia}

and they all take numeric arguments if you want to adjust 'em. Don't  
overuse these features, though; they can seriously distort the shapes  
of the letters :)
