My thanks to Bruno, Adam and Martin --- I've got the Zapfino A.U.Thor 
story.

It _is_ different in how it sets between Jaguar and Panther --- in 
particular the ``d'' switches from defaulting to the Uncial form in 
Jaguar to the more normal right-swept version. So, one want to archive 
the .dfont w/ any job if one wants to be able to re-typeset it w/o 
linebreaks changing between system versions.

Interestingly, XeTeX probably won't be able to work w/ the Linotype 
OpenType version of Zapfino, since it doesn't have AAT tables....

I'll prepare the peace.tex file and send it off to the afore-mentioned 
trio who were all kind enough to volunteer to do it, and then I'll be 
all squared away.

Thanks all!

William
