One trend I see which I think is a good thing, is many new contemporary type families being designed for use in many different languages.
This does not necesarrily address trends in the construction of letters or spacing, but typically in the past many typefaces have been designed for one character set or language. I am really excited about many of the new types being made that support greek, latin, cyrillic, arabic, etc.
I think typefaces like Fedra, which has expanded from a sans serif into various display versions, a text and display serif, and now even a Arabic version is being developed along side the current version that supports about 72 languages which include greek, latin and cyrllic encodings.
