Them being different leads to spurious error messages when running xelatex on a file that uses the fonts: ** ERROR ** Invalid glyph index (gid 2447) Output file removed. and the cause is mentioned in [1] and may be verified by simply replacing the texlive copy with symlinks to the freefont package files. Another problem with the texlive copy is that xelatex files that would render perfectly with the previous version in oS 11.3 now display corrupted freefont glyphs, if the freefont package is removed. Installing the freefont package and replacing texlive's copy of freefont with symlinks, as described previously, fixes this also. [1] http://www.mail-archive.com/xetex@tug.org/msg03025.html Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install both texlive and freefont packages. 2.Attempt to invoke xelatex on a file that uses the freefont. Actual Results: Xelatex aborts with the aforementioned error message and deletes the resulting PDF file. Expected Results: Xelatex produces a PDF file with correct glyphs. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
