Howdy,
You're lucky! I've had the same problems as Bruno and, it seems,
under the same conditions; when there are rapid changes in the file
system. I've noticed it much more with TeXShop rendering a XeLaTeX
document; long delays before rendering and then possibly incorrect
fonts, etc. I'm convinced it's a problem with the PDFkit and possibly
the way fonts are looked up and used under 10.4.2. If I take things
slower the problems seem to go away.
Good Luck,
Herb Schulz
