Dear hdvipdfm driver adepts and advanced TeXnicians,
I just downloaded and installed XeTeX 0.994 using Gerben's i-
installer, and when I tried to re-xetex a .tex file that had compiled
a few minutes before with XeTeX 0.993 (successfully, except for the
grey fonts problem) I got two error messages which looked so nasty
that I hesitated a split second each time before allowing the "après
nous le déluge so let's just try hitting the Return key" mental
reflex to take over. The resulting PDF file appears to be quite OK,
though.
Can anyone point me in the right direction on this one? I haven't
tried to construct a minimal example yet, but here's the relevant
portion of the log file showing the two nasty-looking (but
nevertheless harmless?) error messages:
---------

after which everything (apparently) went well. BTW: in the (probably
improperly designed) preamble of my document I didn't specify any
driver option for hyperref. Should I have? Or do I need to update
any other packages in addition to XeTeX?
