[XeTeX] consternation and confusion - xelatex is generating a blank page in the middle of my document

[Wilfred van Rooijen]

Well, I've donwloaded the test file, but the file texated.tex does not even compile here:

(/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf/tex/latex/config/graphics.cfg)))kpathsea: Invalid fontname `Kozuka Mincho Pro R', contains ' '

! Font \zf at basefont="Kozuka Mincho Pro R" at 10.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) 
file or installed font not found.

                                                  \unless \ifzf at icu \zf at set@...
l.30 \newfontfamily\mincho{Kozuka Mincho Pro R}

No pages of output.
Transcript written on texated.log.

In gedit with the latex plugin, the run stops with an ominous sounding "malformed command", but I was not able to extract more useful info.

Cheerio,
Wilfred
