In the name of sanity, I simplified the experiment. The font file  
(OTF) is now in the same directory as the TeX file.

The TeX file:

---------

\font\x="[SabonNextLT-Black]" at 12pt \x

This is fun

\bye

The Console output:

---------

This is XeTeX, Version 3.141592-2.2-0.995 (Web2C 7.5.5)

I'm stymied :>}O

I have been updating XeTeX from the svn archive, but used i-Installer  
for 0.995.

By the way, what is the reference to HoeflerTextOrnaments?

Thanks.

PS The font I used yesterday was an OTF font converted hastily from  
an LWFN font using FontLab, thus the misleading name.
