[XeTeX] A problem with XeTeX 0.5

[Stephen Moye]

I wish that were of more help than it is -- I really appreciate your 
assistance. I'm not sure where to look for the .cnf files, nor would I 
know what I was looking at nor how to fix a problem. Was there 
something I missed in the i-installer TeX installation that I shouldn't 
have missed?
