OK, Dave, you're right, Tinos does support Cyrillic as per the Character Map
but it doesn't work in XeLaTex which makes me think it's not an OpenType font
at all. Please notice that OpenType is much more than just plain Unicode, it's
about glyph variations. Fonts like say, Tinos may have Cyrillic support
(including Serbian) but not the glyphs appropriate for Serbian. These can only
be accessed through the OpenType locl (localization) table which provides the
correct glyphs depending on language. Glyphs, not characters.
I repeat it, I might be mistaken but it seems to me Tinos is not an OpenType
font at all, so it too would require a patch in order to support at least the
locl tabe we need in order to correctly visualize Serbian glyphs on screen.
