Thank you for your response. I will file a bug with Debian at some
point.<br>

AFAIK, Windows users don't have this problem. Unless a user or an
installer installed with WOFF files where fontconfig would find
them, there would not be a problem. The issue comes up when the
Debian/Ubuntu packages would place the WOFF files were fontconfig
finds them.<br>

<pre wrap="">That's the general answer. On the practical side: It can only help
if you can avoid to put the font somewhere where is disturb xetex.

How do I specify the extension? If I am using plain XeTeX and have a
line such as <br>
<br>
\font\bodyfont="Andika New Basic/GR" at 12pt<br>
<br>
where do I put the extension? I can place the font name in brackets
[], and include the extension, but then I need to supply the entire
path to the font file.<br>
<br>
Thanks, Bobby<br>
