Why Debian? I meant it is more a xetex problem so I would add a bug report there. >> And xetex users shold avoid "vage" font loading by adding the >> extension if possible. > How do I specify the extension?

This here works fine for me (arial is a system font and the other is in the texmf tree): \font\test="[arial.ttf]:color=FF0000;mapping=tex-text" at 20pt \test alblbl --- \font\test="[texgyrecursor-regular.otf]:color=00FF00" at 20pt \test alblbl --- But you won't be able to use font options like /GR (at least that's what xetexref says). -- Ulrike Fischer http://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/ -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
