Hello,
if I try to use a font that doesn't exist (e.g. because I mistype the
name) then xelatex stops for about a minute while the hard drive is
quite busy. Then I get the expected "tfm missing" error.
What is xelatex doing there? Is this normal or a miktex-related
behaviour? (I couldn't get any information from traces with debugview.)
And more importantly what can I do to shorten the time until I get the
error?
My XeTeX-version:
This is XeTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.2-0.997 (MiKTeX 2.7) (preloaded
format=xelatex 2008.4.9)
A minimal document is
\documentclass{article}
\font\x="Myriad Proxx"
\begin{document}
\x xx
\end{document}
