Hello

the following document 

\documentclass{scrreprt}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Courier}
\begin{document}
ö
\end{document}

fails to compile in miktex 2.7. because xdvipdfmx don't like the courier
font:

[1<Courier(Courier:Regular)@10.91pt<NATIVE-FONTMAP:Courier/H/65536/0>

Output file removed.



Is this a bug of the font or of xdvipdfmx? 

dvipdfmx seems to able to handle the font:

C:\UlleDoku\test>dvipdfmx -v test-utf-tex
test-utf-tex.dvi -> test-utf-tex.pdf
