Thanks.
I see someone did something like what I'm suggesting. I'm intrigued by
the 'fc-list' solution, as it would be much faster in the event the font
did not exist.
On a somewhat related note: is there a simple way to make xdvipdfmx look
for fonts in exactly the same manner as xetex? I have encountered
numerous times where having the same font in different places causes
problems with the output file. At the moment, the only solution I know
of is to ensure there is only one copy of a font on the system. That is
ok, except when (for example) Ubuntu doesn't update the font file and
there is a reason you want the newer font ...
Best regards,
Ron
