I have a similar problem, but obviously with a somewhat different 
reason.

The CM fonts seem to be found, but CM-test.tex generates the following 
output:

--snip
This is XeTeXk, Version 3.14159-2.1-0.7 (Web2C 7.5.2)
  %&-line parsing enabled.

The PDF generated just contains some mathematical symbols, but no text.

I am using Gerben's teTeX and XeTeX 0.7 installed via i-Installer on 
MacOS 10.3.3. The OTFFONTS entry is present in texmf.cnf.

Being everything but a TeX expert, but very impressed from what XeTeX 
does, I really would be happy if someone could give me a hint!

Thanks in advance,
best regards,
