[tex-live] XeTeX or xdvipdfmx Broken on Mac

[Richard Koch]

Folks,

In the message title for several earlier messages today, I confused XeTeX with TeTeX. Gulp.

After the final message, I got a message from Khaled Hosny saying that he had
fixed the problem. Just now, I compiled all the sources again, and tested
my two documents. Sure enough, most problems are fixed. THANKS, KHALED.

However …

There is a final problem. Here again is the source:

————————————
%!TEX TS-program = xelatex
%!TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{geometry} 
\geometry{letterpaper}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{amssymb}

\usepackage{fontspec,xltxtra,xunicode}
\defaultfontfeatures{Mapping=tex-text}
\setromanfont[Mapping=tex-text]{Hoefler Text}
\setsansfont[Scale=MatchLowercase,Mapping=tex-text]{Gill Sans}
\setmonofont[Scale=MatchLowercase]{Andale Mono}

\title{Brief Article}
\author{The Author}

\begin{document}
\maketitle

This is a standard TeX document using Hoefler Text. It uses \LaTeX\ and
the standard \TeX\ graphic packages.

\newfontfamily{\A}{Geeza Pro}
\newfontfamily{\H}[Scale=0.9]{Lucida Grande}
\newfontfamily{\J}[Scale=0.85]{Osaka}

Here are some multilingual Unicode fonts: this is Arabic text: {\A السلام عليكم}, 
this is Hebrew: {\H שלום},  and here's some Japanese: {\J 今日は}.

\end{document}  

——————————————

If the line near the bottom defining font “J” to be Osaka is commented out,
and the corresponding Japanese text at the end is commented out, this typesets
fine. If we add back the line defining the “J” font, but not the Japanese text,
typesetting is still fine. Adding the final line with Japanese text leads to the
message

xdvipdfmx:fatal: Invalid font: -1 (6)

Output file removed.
