[XeTeX] xdvipdfmx problem with truetype font (Gill Sans)

[what follows is quite redundant with Pete's post, but since I stated  
the original question, I thought I should at least provide some  
information from my system]

Yes, I'm quite sure they are from OS X distribution - MD5 hash =  
06e5b8382cc402e57f3e852d605c1ec4, the same as in the other posts.
I can't remember where the Type 1 fonts are from, either from an  
Adobe package (CS, CS3?) or also from a printer disk. Usually I have  
them deactivated to avoid conflicts, since the .dfont was sufficient  
so far; I only tried them explicitly in XeTeX when the others did not  
work.
They are probably the same as yours (Monotype, Adobe):
GillSan
GillSanBol
GillSanBolCon
GillSanBolIta
GillSanCon
GillSanExtBol
GillSanIta
GillSanLig
GillSanLigIta
GillSanUltBol
GillSanUltBolCon

PostScript names are "GillSans-Light" etc., the unique names  
"Monotype - Gill Sans MT Light; 5.0d2" etc. (only for the .dfont, the  
PostScript fonts don't have unique names ("Not available"; my  
knowledge is too limited to think about the reason or consequence of  
that…).
