[XeTeX] Sigla for handscripts

[Benjamin Koppe]

I found it is Helvetica, what he computer uses, because he won't fin  
the od scripts...:

...
*** font activation failed (status=0): yfrak.pfb

*** font yfrak (yfrak-Regular: file 'yfrak.pfb') not found

*** font yfrak (yfrak.pfb) not found, will substitute Helvetica glyphs
exception: SimplePSInterpreterException  reason: condition in if is  
not a boolean

*** font activation failed (status=0): yswab.pfb

*** font yswab (yswab-Regular: file 'yswab.pfb') not found

*** font yswab (yswab.pfb) not found, will substitute Helvetica glyphs
  )
...

Do fontspec and friends switch off other fonts? Or why is it this font  
is not found anymore?
