Yep; sorry, I forgot about that.

Yeah; that's a problem we need to solve --- somehow automatically 
generating more font calls
at different sizes.


Anyway, have you put the Textures CM fonts back into the Fonts/ folder ?
When I had the problem I removed all the CMs and the screen fonts,
then put them all back when Jonathan gave me XeTeX 0.51 .
I've had no such problems since.

That one was meant for pdfLaTeX, so I could have 2 windows side-by-side 
for
comparison. Of course, it should work with either driver.

Sure; there are some unanswered questions.

If pulling the CM fonts out, then putting them back works,
then maybe there is some update in the way the OS handles
the fonts. It must do some kind of conversion and caching
--- the disk whirs for some time whenever there is a change
to the system fonts.
Moving them around like this may cause the cache to be
rebuilt using updated methods, and now they'll work
--- at least for me.

Just guessing.  :-)
