This does all make sense (including the snipped part). Nevertheless I'd like to propose that we put some intermediate steps in: 1) Fix the first half of bug #9744. This is an easy and safe change which has the additional benefit to make most of Günters concerns about the "View XeTeX" toolbar button much less important. Also, if we do not do it before 2.2.0, we cannot do it for 2.2.x (file format change). Günter, maybe you want to have a try yourself (if Scott agrees to do this before 2.2.0)? 2) Set the new "automatic" value for "use non-TeX fonts" for all documents that should work with XeTeX in principle 3) Re-evaluate the test status and decide then whether some tests do still need to be suspended or inverted. My guess would be that after these three steps, the tests would be much more usable, and that the tests that do then still fail would point to real problems which should not be ignored. Georg
