[XeTeX] XeTeX Win32 PDF file output error, second phase

Sat Aug 12 16:25:37 CEST 2006

Thank you so much for your patience. Happily I've had some degree of  
success!!! A perfectly formed PDF file has been received:-)

I opened the Italic font with TTX and UltraEdit on the PC and found  
that in fact there were two spots where 'Regular' was in the  
nomenclature of the font, so changed those to Italic. There was no  
occurrence of 'Regular' in the Bold Italic font. Admittedly...there  
may be some problem with the Italic font for TTX gives the following  
two messages while compiling the font:

Build\buildttx\out1.pyz/fontTools.misc.textTools:64: FutureWarning: x<<y
losing bits or changing sign will return a long in Python 2.4 and up
Build\buildttx\out1.pyz/fcntl:7: DeprecationWarning: the FCNTL module is
deprecated; please use fcntl

Subsequently I'm able to generate the PDF file in a two step process  
(but still get the suspect DOS16 errors when I try to run it simply  
as xetex 41Matt.tex...and when run as one step there is no PDF file  
output on the file system despite the message which follows).

Running xetex 41Matt.tex I get a log which ends:
"\openout0 = `41Matt.pgs'.

[67] )
Output written on 41Matt.xdv (67 pages, 1402156 bytes)."

The output (in addition to the lovely PDF file!!!!) when I run:  
xdvipdfmx -vv 41Matt.xdv is:
