I'm running TeXLive 2008. When I compile for XeTeX (texexec --xtx) I get the following output that appears to be generating the lmtypewriter10-regular font. The bad part is that this is very slow. The part that's even worse, it does this probably 20...30...40 times? A compilation takes 145 seconds, and about 130+ seconds of time seem to be dealing with lmtypewriter10-regular.

This doesn't happen on small test files, so I know I'm doing something wrong. Any ideas?

Thanks, Bart

The file name is : lmmono10-regular The font name is : LMTypewriter10-Regular You can do (in context): \definefontsynonym [MyMono] [file:lmmono10-regular] \definefontsynonym [MyMono] [name:LMTypewriter10-Regular] (i'm not sure if xetex is case sensitive) All th emessages that you see on the console concern xetex calling metafont to generate a font which does not exist (a kind of fallback behaviour) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
