[OS X TeX] Problem with font AND TeX distribution pref pane

[Stephen Anderson]

I have a local letterhead template that I have used for a couple of years now.  It invokes XeLaTeX, and makes use of local fonts (“YaleAdmin” and "YaleDesign").  Since installing TeXLive 2013, I can’t get it to work anymore: it claims it can’t find the YaleAdmin font (although that is still installed in /Library/Fonts, with .suit files for the various faces).  OK, I thought, I need to produce some recommendation letters quickly, so I’ll just revert to TeXLive 2012, which worked fine.  So I open the System Preferences and choose the TeX distributions pref pane, and it presented all of the various versions I have on this system, with TeXLive 2013 checked.  When I then tried to check TeXLive 2012, it asked for my password, which I provided, but failed to make any change.  In fact, I can’t change the 2013 preference to any of the several distributions I have. So two questions:
a) what’s up with the TeX distribution preference panel, and how do I fix it?
b) why can’t XeTeX find my font?

With respect to problem b, where is some more information.  The font invocation in the source is as follows:

> […]
> \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
> \usepackage{textcomp}
> 
> \usepackage{fontspec}
> \usepackage{xunicode}% provides unicode character macros 
> \usepackage{xltxtra} % provides some fixes/extras 
> 
> \usepackage{fontspec,xltxtra,xunicode}
> \defaultfontfeatures{Mapping=tex-text}
> \setmainfont[ItalicFont={YaleAdmin-Italic},BoldFont={YaleAdmin-BoldRoman},BoldItalicFont={YaleAdmin-BoldItalic},SmallCapsFont={YaleAdmin-SmallCap}]{YaleAdmin}
> 
> \newfontfamily\headingfont[Mapping=tex-text,ItalicFont={YaleDesign-Italic},BoldFont={YaleDesign-BoldRoman}]{YaleDesign}
> […]

The transcript from running XeLaTex is:
