[XeTeX] Font Location Issue?

[Wilfred van Rooijen]

Hello,

I think I had a similar error on Linux with some fonts. The issue seems to be that xelatex accesses some fonts by file name and others by the "identifier" that is in the font file (this may have changed in the meantime - I had this error 6 months ago). In my case, I checked with 'fc-list' what the ID of the font was and used that in my tex source. I guess another option is to copy the font to the working directory, rename without spaces, and then try to use it.

Cheers,
Wilfred

Stone Sans ITC TT is installed in /Library/Fonts (as it was before, when things worked; the .tex file I'm processing has also not been changed, and worked fine in '12), and now I receive this error:
